New Year already?

Wow I really can not believe it is going to be 2008 next year! Where did 2007 go? I'm not sure but I think time is faster now that I am older. You know when you were a kid and time seemed to stand still? I want that back! Everyone is older now, including myself, that wasn't suppose to happen! lol Well I guess it does happen but why so fast? My youngest baby is going to be 10 this year! Oh no another boy going through puberty.... hmmm can I have a vacation?

Lets see, usually people make a list of what they want to accomplish for the new year. I don't ever do that. I make them all year long. Whenever God shows me something that needs to be changed, I either do my part or let him do his. I do reflect though on the past year and see all the fun things that happened.

Jerath came back to home school. Liam learned to read. I knit my first ever sweater. We went to Disney World! I fell in love with Florida. Last year was my hubby and I's 2nd wedding anniversary. My nieces were potty trained. We went to Jamestown and had fun. Found our new church Fairfax Community. I started a blog and have stuck to it. Liam got to ride in an airplane for the first time and he did pretty good. I might not ever repeat that adventure with him though, at least on my own lol. The list goes on and on. 2007 was a good year!

Now on to the adventures of 2008.......

Wow Can you believe it is Christmas!!!!

Perfect Dream.... sort of.

I had a dream last night where I was in the back yard having a pool party. There were lots of guests there most of them with British accents and the weather was a devine 85 degrees. We were sitting around knitting, eating and drinking coffee or tea. It was absolutely perfect until I walked past the pool right into a spider's web. (BTW I am terrified of spiders getting on me) It was a HUGE, grey spider. I mean this thing sat on my head and pretty much almost covered the top of it. It was very hairy but it had green eyes, that looked at you all beady like. I started freaking out trying to get the thing off my head. I was stuck! Other people tried to get it off too but it hung onto one strand of hair and wouldn't let go. Then I woke up. LOL Strange dream, of course I had to wake up my husband and mumble out "Spider on my head!" which probably just came out smmble om hd, because he was looking at me like I was nuts. Finally I woke up enough to say real words and told him about it and he said" You have really weird dreams." I have to agree, that yes I do.

Blah

Well my great news isn't so great anymore. I had a miscarriage. I am disappointed but not overly really. I didn't have time to become emotionally attached yet. I am bummed though because we have been trying for almost a year now. We decided though to take a break and start back to trying after the new year. I am too scared it will happen again. At least we know it can happen though, right?

Talking on Tuesday

I started my Tilted Duster!!!! It is going so quickly too. I am knitting it in a nice chocolate brown worsted on size 8's which gives me 4 1/2 stitches to an inch. I finished up the back, right front and started on the left front yesterday. I can't wait to finish it.

Great News!!

Well I think I have told everyone who I can call about this news but yesterday I found out that we are PREGNANT!!!! We have been trying for 8 months now and I had just given up and thought I was too old. God gave me a surprise. Well, not really he has told me I would have another. I mean I have dreamed about her, but I just let myself tell myself that oh that is just wishful thinking. Silly me to let doubts creep into my head. I mean who put the dreams in there in the first place? DUH to me. We are super excited. I am going to wait until the new year to go to the doctor since our new and cheaper insurance will kick in then.

As for knitting, I had to frog (well in the process of frogging as I need yarn) my youngest son's sweater because he grew! I was all done with his sweater and ready to sew in the ends and all then I tried it on him and it fit but a little too snug. He grew and inch! I am making it 2 sizes bigger now lol. He might be able to wear it longer now or at least until I finish knitting the silly thing.
