She's here!!

We received exciting news yesterday morning, around 8am that Naomi and Micah were heading to the hospital and she was in labor. Around noon we had gotten the news that baby Kimberly Abigail was born at 10:55am. Weighing in a 7lbs and 7oz.

We drove to Raleigh and met up with Stephen's mom and aunt and brothers, and a few others to meet the sweet new baby. I have to admit, that I couldn't get enough of her! She is absolutely perfect. We will be heading back down to Raleigh on Saturday I think, when the baby and parents are all back at home.

One other side thing that happened, Stephen and I finally met Mike! This was very exciting as well, and we liked him so very much! Hopefully we will be seeing more of him in the future. :)

Happy New Years to all!

Christmas is over..

Its all over.. I survived the two weeks AND finals and came out with one of the best semester gpa's ever! Crazy! One semester left and I am done!!

Christmas is actually over and it was great! Its always so busy, but I love spending time with everyone and eating LOTS and LOTS of great food! We got so many gifts and I have no idea where I am going to put everything.. Thats one item on the checklist of things to do. Clean everything in the house and put away christmas gifts in an organized fashion. I want everything clean and organized when I ring in the new year. It has to reflect how the next year is going to go. Clean, organized, and smooth!

I'm looking forward to 2008. I have alot of things I am ready to accomplish. For so many years I have said I want to get in shape or stay organized for my resolution but I decided not to do that this year. Why? Because its not necessary. Those are things that I want in life to make my life better. They are all obtainable with a little bit of work and they should be things I do anyway. So Im not making them a resolution, only a commitment. My resolution is to show people my appreciation and gratefulness more often. I am surrounded by so many people who make my life wonderful and all to often I get to busy and caught up in life to let them know how much I appreciate them. This year I am going to try to be better about that.

Already December!

I can't believe its December already, and I just know this month is going to fly by as well..

Thanksgiving was great at my dad's! What a nice change from the running back and forth between families. I'm not going to lie though, I really did miss my black Friday shopping. Yes, you heard right.. I did not go in even one store that day. Craziness!

This past weekend was a busy but good one.. I had to work, and then worked a little on papers that I needed to be working alotta on. We went to Karen's graduation party that night and had a really good time. Sunday, we met Stephen's mom and grandmother at Smithfields outlet malls for lunch and some shopping. Unfortunately we came back with nothing in the line of christmas gifts. Oh well! To finish off the weekend, we did what we do every first weekend in December. We went and bought our christmas tree! I LOVE it! Its my favorite thing to do.. I will be sure to post pictures.

Now the craziest week of my life begins. I told Stephen this morning if I survive this I can survive anything. This week I have two research papers due, 2 smaller papers due, 1 test and Holly's wedding this weekend. On top of that, I still have to work like normal, and there is a meet this weekend that I have a few kids attending without me, so their parents have set up extra lessons. Anyway, I'll try to get back on here after this week is over and post pictures.

Two weeks until my one year anniversary! Can you believe it! So excited!!
