I guess that's it on the sewing front. I was in a funk for quite some time this year but I have the FEVER back again!

On the personal side: we did a lot of traveling. DH and I went to Acapulco, Orlando, Hawaii, California, and Chicago. It was a busy but fun year. We celebrated 25 years of wedding bliss in Hawaii and loved it there so much that we bought a timeshare there! Our youngest graduated from high school and firefighting academy and had his wisdom teeth out. Our oldest had a car wreck, got a dui, and moved back home UGH...our DD moved out on her own and bought a dog! And our third child tore his ACL and had to have knee surgery, miss his junior year of soccer and had his wisdom teeth out. I celebrated 9 years of being cancer free as well! DH changed jobs and love it and was also written up on ESPSN.com about his running streak. I lost 27 pounds and feel good once again! I VOW TO KEEP IT OFF this time!!!

I can only hope that 2008 is as good as 2007 with the fact that I'd like to be an empty nester by the end of this year! WOOHOO!!!!!

a side note: my friend whose parents were in a car accident is having a double funeral on Friday...her dad passed away today...please keep them in your prayers
