I know some people look behind to review what they have accomplished last year. And that is nice, it gives you a nice pat on the back of all you have accomplished. But I really like to looking ahead and this year is going to be so much fun; full of adventure, additions to our family and a change in lifestyle.
Such a Exciting year ahead. *******
1. The baby of the family is getting married, He finally proposed and she said yes. No date yet but this summer I think. We love her and think God has certainly blessed them already and He brought a great couple together. So I need to plan the Rehearsal Dinner-something fancy. I need to lose weight to look great for the wedding pictures.
2. New week the kitchen redo is going to get started and hopefully finished by Feb. We are getting new cabinets, counter-tops , tearing out the desk area and putting in a grand buffet serving area. We are keeping the same floor , same foot print to keep cost down. But I am redoing the fireplace area to match the tile of the buffet and back-splash.
3. After all these years, 30 to be exact, my hubby will be retiring from Teamsters. He worked for Pepsi 15 years and Cassen's Transport for 15 years. He has worked so hard in putting food on our table, roof over our head, cars that work and gas to put in them, Private Christian Education and help with College Education. He has been a very hard working husband and has done a fantastic job in helping raise our family BUT- now our very own personal adventure begins. That means to me- Getting to really know each other again, Time to learn new things together, Going new places to experience, Letting God lead us! I can't wait!
4. We are also getting another grandbaby that will be here in June. We hope it is a boy with the name of Joseph G. Haines IV but momma wants something different for a name. We will see, maybe by next month we will know the sex. We are also praying for another son and his wife to conceive.
5. Fiber Artist for me. I really need to step up my quilting Projects. I am planning on 24 quilts this year. 2 a month. Some will be bed size and the majority will be for Contemporary Art Display - 3 D, textural, embellishments. I also plan on Display at several Art Fairs and Quilt Festival. I plan on 2 classes with Fiber Artists that I respect to learn new techniques and pay particular attention to my quality. I want to get my Art "out there" and maybe make some money for my hobby which I want to turn into a business. I want to spend less time on time wasters.
Here is to a great year to you and yours. Happy New Year: 2014.
