New Blog Design.

OK, I need y'all to let me know if the moon pic behind my blog title disappears whenever the blog gets fully loaded. I can't determine if it's my computer or the picture. Thanks!

Something I hadn't thought of before.

Last Sunday, one of our pastors brought out a point I hadn't thought about before. He said that when he was a boy, he always thought that people say "Happy New Year!" because they're wishing everyone a happy New Years day. However, that is not the case; we're actually wishing everyone a good year!! As I was thinking about that, I wondered what a good year meant? It came to me that a "good" year does not mean that I am happy all the time and lots of great stuff happens to me. It means that I am doing the Lord's will in everything I do and praising Him with thankfulness, even in the hard times. When you think about it in that light, every year can and should be a good year. :)

BTW, how do y'all like my "new" blog? ;D Can you tell I love putting new stuff on my blog? It's so much fun!

Random stuff...

Hey everybody! As you can see, I "remade" my blog!! Hope you like it. :) Oh, and I did take the pic that is behind my title. Neat, huh?!

I hope everyone's Christmas was nice....our's was pretty nice. We didn't do hardly anything though! Seeing as we've been sick with the flu/colds, we didn't feel like doing much. Mainly, we just sat around and talked! Or rested. The only thing we ate for Christmas dinner was velveeta cheese dip and chips. :D Boy, that was good!! (I know, terrible for you though. *rolls eyes*) Strangely enough it didn't upset my stomach. We also went to the dog park. THAT was an adventure. ;D First of all, Patsy has been having some...uh...tummy troubles from little ones feeding her old Ol'Roy dog biscuits. :P IOW, she's been pretty gassy the past few days. I thought that she was over it on Friday....apparently not because when we were about 10 minutes into our adventure she let off a good 'un. Whew! Had to air out the car....that happened several times. Then Pepper barfed....don't know why, either; she's always loved car rides before and never been carsick. Who knows....anyway, so we had to stop so I could clean up that mess. Once we made it to the dog park we were OK, although Dusty didn't think the other dogs were great; we'll be working on that. ;) He needs a little practice in socializing with his kind. :D Thankfully, he just runs and doesn't start fights. ;)

So there is my Christmas. Today we went to my aunt's birthday party. It was nice to see that side of the family again. We don't have a whole lot of contact with them. Other than that outing, I've pretty much just loafed around. I didn't get officially dressed until like 11 or 12. Once I did get dressed, I didn't do anything except for some fish tank/betta tank water changes. So, yup, lazy day!!

OK, well, hope you enjoyed the random news. ;D

In Christ,
