Blog Challenge: All About The New Year

1. Will you be looking for a new job? No. My visa to live here in Germany states that I can not work while I live here.

2. What will you do different in '08? Show more affection to my husband because I love him more than he realizes since I don't show it that often.

3. New Year's Resolution(s)? Of course the same as every year: To lose weight, to control my temper, to be a good Mom and to get more organized.

4. Any trips planned? Oh, I want to go to America. That is a given. But we are also looking into taking the three bigger kids to Disney Paris.

5. Wedding plans? Nope. :giggle:

6. Baby plans? Tubes tied this year is my plan.

7. Major thing on your calendar? So far, the major thing on my calendar would be Scrap Freak's Anniversary Crop in March and then the visit from the in-laws in October.

8. What can't you wait for? The Sun to finally shine in Germany.

9. What would you like to see happen different? I would love to see my kids get a long more and less fighting. I wish they would be more loving one towards another.

10. What about yourself will you be changing? I want to become a nicer Mom.

11. What happened in '07 that you didn’t think would ever happen? My mom came here to Germany to visit me.

12. Will you be nicer to the people you care about? I sure hope so. That is one of my goals.

13. Will you dress differently in '08 than you did in '07? Probably not.

14. Will you better your relationship with your family? Once again, I hope so.

15. Will you do volunteer work? I always do volunteer work. So I am going to say yes.

16. Do you expect '08 to be a good year for you? Yes.

17. How much did you change from this time last year til now? I have changed a lot. Being new in a foreign country last year was really hard. But now, I am more experienced. I've grown a lot through the trials and hardships I encountered.

18. Will you still be friends with the same people you are friends with now? I hope so. I need to work on keeping in touch with old and new friends. Because it is sad when we move on.

19. Major lifestyle changes? Oh please let me become skinnier.

20. Will you be moving? Nope, doesn't look like it is in the cards for this year.

21. What will you make sure doesn't happen in '08 that happened in '07? I have no idea.

Photo A Day--January 4th

Gotta love our tile! lmao

Photo A Day--January 3rd

Gardner went to the store to pick up something to try to hook up our television today. But instead, he came home with this. I am very excited as I have been wanting one. It is not as nice as what I used to use at the Gym when we lived in America. And it really is a cheap thing. But that is the point. We couldn't afford something more expensive. And hopefully it will help me get back into shape this year. I need help after having the last two kids.

Photo A Day--January 2nd

We have lived in our house for over a year now. We have a sauna in our basement and we have never used it before except to hide christmas presents.

Tonight we used it for the first time. So I tried to take pictures of it. It is hard to take a picture of something that has such a narrow door.

I'd love pointers if you have some to share. I'm including three pictures.

Color Challenge--White

Scrap Freak is starting a Photo Color Challenge once a month. For January, the color is white. There is no prize if you win, it is really just for fun. So I am trying to decide which picture I should submit as my entry. Which one do you like best? Number 1 or number 2?

Number 1

Number 2

Photo A Day---January 1st

Here is my picture for Tuesday, January 1st. It is of my little Ian. He is now 16 months old. He has learned some sign language. He is doing the sign for eat. He was wanting something that Gardner had.
