Holy Colee!

2009! really? So far this year is perfect :) We slept in - which as you know is my FAVORITE way to start the day. Then we went up to the cemetery and met all the kids at the hill. No, we don't play in the graveyard for new year's, but we DO play in the field next to it. It's the best sledding hill in town. Jared had gone up a couple days ago and plowed out the roads and built a track with some jumps for the sledders. It was fun to watch the kids trudge up the hill and somehow make it back down much more quickly than they made it up :) Hot cocoa and roasted hot dogs, and the wind didn't pick up til we were ready to leave - it was great.
Mom went with me to visit a friend tonight, and when we got home - the boys had put in the toilet she got for her birthday :) YAY for a toilet that works right!
Another happy thing is that John got a letter from the embassy. It wasn't the call we were hoping for, but it was a letter with another form they need filled out and instructions on how to set up his medical exam- PROGRESS! It has been feeling very stagnant as we waited and waited and waited for them to at least tell us they had received our application, so I am probably a bit happier than most people today :)

I still need to set new goals this year, though - any suggestions?
