Happy New Year!!!!!

Happy new year!!! What a great day and what a perfect way to start the new year!!!! We went to church, stayed and had lunch with the Living Mosaic Family and now home with my two girls, watching the Texans. They're playing the Titans and losing right now. No matter, Brooke's coaching is making me laugh.
Ralph is still gone. :( we have PLASTERED the streets with his face. Toot even offered a reward. We still have hope AND LM is praying for his safe return... If a miracle is going to happen, they'll be the ones to get the ball rolling.
My goals have changed a bit this year. Not a lot...pay off credit card debt (making headway),
More active at church (lol, this one BEGAN in 2011...it was a goal that chose ME)and this year we are planning a SUCCESSFUL Etsy shop. My last one was a dismal failure but Tootie's going to help. She helps me focus... We're naming it Je Crois and someday it'll pay off. I love jewelry, love to paint, I make IDs...
Je Crois means "I Believe" in French.

I believe...I'm absolutely BLESSED by God. I believe ...we'll be out of debt soon. I believe...in success.

New Year's Eve..

of 2011 has dawned and it's grim out today. Our Snorky, Ralph, ran away yesterday and everyone is sad. He has escaped before but always returned, albeit unrepentant, tongue lolling and a look on his face that said,"What??? Yeah, it was worth it!!" We're hanging signs in the neighborhood today to see if we can get our boy home. This partying all night has to stop!!!

2011 hasn't been one of our favorite years but def not one of our worst...however, part of "auld lang syne" is moving on, so we will...hopefully WITH Ralph. We are missing a loved one, keeping one (I hope) and have gained a few in our lives. We have new friends, a new church and REnewed love for God and a plan for 2012. I hope it's a good one.

Blessings to you and yours...
