*I REMEMBER A PAIR OF RED BOOTS MY MOMMA HAD WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, THEY HAD A RED LEATHER BELT THAT MATCHED. I ABSOLUTELY ADORED THOSE BOOTS AND THAT BELT. I ALWAYS WANTED TO WEAR THEM, BUT I WAS TOO LITTLE, I COULDN’T FIT INTO HER BOOTS YET. IT IS MY MISSION TO FIND AN AWESOME PAIR OF RED BOOTS FOR MYSELF THIS YEAR. I CAN’T WAIT. I CAN’T WAIT TO FIND SOME AWESOME LIL’ BOY BOOTS FOR DYLAN, TOO.

*TO YOU SEWING MOMMAS, I'M LOOKING FOR A GOOD SEWING MACHINE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHATSOEVER WHAT TO BUY. I'D LIKE ONE THAT ALSO EMBROIDERS. ANY IDEAS ON WHAT'S GOOD OUT THERE, BUT AFFORDABLE?

*I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO READY FOR SPRING. I AM READY TO BE ABLE TO GO OUTSIDE AND LET DYLAN RUN AROUND WITHOUT A COAT ON. I’M READY FOR FLOWERS. I’M READY FOR LEAVES. I’M READY FOR A LATER SUNSET. I’M READY FOR NEW LIFE.

*I LOVE MY HUSBAND SO MUCH. I LOVE MARRIAGE. IT’S JUST WONDERFUL IN SO MANY WAYS. SOMEONE VERY SPECIAL TO ME IS GETTING MARRIED SOON, AND I’M SOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY FOR HER!!! SHE HAS NO IDEA HOW EVERY YEAR THAT HAPPENS OVER THEIR LIVES WILL ONLY GET BETTER, AND HOW THEY WILL LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH MORE THAN THEY DO AT THIS MOMENT.

*DYLAN’S DOING VERY WELL IN SCHOOL AND LOVING IT. IF EVERYTHING GOES AS PLANNED, HE STARTS 1ST GRADE IN APRIL OR MAY. I’M LOVING HOMESCHOOLING.

*I AM VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO THE REST OF 2009. I CAN’T EXPLAIN IT, BUT I JUST HAVE SUCH GOOD FEELINGS AND EXPECTATIONS FOR IT. LORD, THANK YOU, EVEN BEFORE YOU HAVE, FOR ANSWERING MY PRAYERS TO YOU THIS YEAR.
