Hip-Hip-Hoorah!....*zzzzzz*

Hello all you people out there! Right now I, Rachel am almost half asleep. The reason I am so tired? The same that will probably make all you other people grumpy today. :) We had friends over and stayed up till midnight, then had a Bible-reading a sang a few worship songs to start off the new year, so they didn't leave till after 1:00! Then we had to clean up what was left over, and then wrap presents because Mr. oldest of Many and his "family is comin'" to do a late gift exchange. It is slightly more depressing than "Auld lang Syne" to note that we will officially do Christmas with the Walkers twice in 2010! :( But we are glad to see them anyhow. And Uncle Lon and Aunt Heather are here! They blessed us immensely by telling Mama that she could pick out any washer/dryer and they would pay for it!!! Gone the days of running the washer twice to get the clothes wrung out! Gone the days of running the dryer three times to dry a small load! Three cheers for those good, jolly, joyful laundry-fairies that I am pleased to have as relatives! :) Huzzah!! (Really, that "huzzah" with the exclamation point drained the last scrap of energy I had. I hope I can crawl over to the coffee pot and get a cup. :)Oooooohh! I'm the firstest person to write in the catagory 2010 on the little sidebar! Yippee......yawn. Okay. Before I slump onto the keyboard and accidently hit something weird with my forehead, I'll end this blog post with a challenge for the new year: let us make sure that our "New year's resolutions" if they are something God is trying to work with us on, are not shelfed by February. Even if they cause us some pain in giving up something, it is such a very miniscule price to pay for being right with Him! Remember, we are more than conquerers through Christ Jesus! God Bless You in this new year and may it be a year in which you grow ever closer to Him! -Rachel
