Things I'm Looking Forward To in 2011

*Gracie turning 5 and starting kindergarten

*continuing to supplement Gracie's education with good books that I find. Our current favorites are My Name is Not Isabella and The True Princess.

*Madelyn turning 3 and starting dance class

*learning how to sew

*learning more about photography and Photoshop

*learning about God's love and forgiveness

*pursuing new friendships

*contemplating becoming a gradeschool librarian--only 24 hours of coursework on top of my teaching certificate, and the courses look AWESOME! If I decide to do this it will be a long process, but I like to dream...

Mostly, I'm thankful to have a new appreciation for where I live and for my current job as a stay-at-home mom.
