What a fun list and great for journaling the year!
What a great list!!!!!
I hope you had a wonderful new year day :)
How fun-love the list. I should do this. Good job on your good deeds and temple attendance. I need to work on that-sad huh? It's so hard to find the time, and I'm not an early bird and don't like to go alone-so what's a girl to do? Have a super day!
That was fun to read. You've had a good year. Hope 2008 is even better.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Did you guys do anything?
I agree Bourne was th best. I stayed up till 2:30 last night watching the first one,they must be good not to have me fall asleep.
i loved reading your list! and i am so impressed with your 365 days of good deeds and documentation this year. you are the only person i've ever known who has successfully stuck with a new year's resolution for a whole year!
Love your list & pics! That pedicure is too cute! You're awesome & my hero for doing your good deeds & recording them every day for the year!!!!
I think you had a pretty good year. I have to laugh at you giving up on not yelling after 3 weeks of trying, that's a rough goal for a mom of 4 to set (or a mom of 2, ha).
Yay. I did this too. I found myself kind of stuck with what I came up with for our Christmas letter, but...you're right. The blog catches it all. I think your 2007 was great. Can you imagine 2008? I'm excited!
