Well, back to work tomorrow. Bum-mer. I am not ready yet but here it is. I had a very good vacation I am happy to say. It didn't look too promising in the beginning but things took a turn for the better. We had a nice Christmas Eve and great Christmas day. Lots of cool gifts, I am so blessed. Everyone has a Keurig now and Mom is searching for bargain prices for K-cups for all of us. Between phones, iPads and Garmins, we are all more tech savvy for 2012. The Disney trip was great but too short. I am happy to say I am going to book another one for December. Can I start counting the days yet? I also got a full week at home with my wonderful dog. I love being home. I did not open my computer even one time to do work. A new record. Thank you Laura!
There are things I am looking forward to this year, God willing. Luke has a big year ahead and graduation and deciding where to go to school. He has lots of options, SIU-E, SIU-C, ISU, EIU, WIU or to start at Lincoln Land if he wants to. We will see where and how God leads him. Trying to schedule a get together with our friends John and Tricia. I have missed them so much. Laura and I will hit the road running starting this month with presentations and conferences. Busy year for Preemietalk already as we are going to Kentucky, Utah, Florida and in the fall we are presenting at Cincinnati Children's. We have that damn book to finish. On the home front, Randy and I have a date at an Illini game the first week of March. Our small group is always great fun and is so good for me on Wednesday nights. As soon as winter breaks a bit, we will put more miles on the motorcycle. In June I am taking my mom to The Little Theater to see Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. My parents are trying to come up on Thursdays when I am not working. We are going to start doing more fun things around the area. So that is a good start. In August, my friend Michelle and I will go again to the Global Leadership Summit, right My Michelle?
I will need to find new obsessions...American Idol returns, Illinois basketball, some new gadget or device...probably an iPhone for me in March. I may retire my Droid. A busy girl like me needs some great toys, right?
So grudgingly, grumbling I return to life as I know it. I am blessed to have my job and I know that (blah, blah, blah) but having no schedule, setting no alarm clock, eating when I am hungry, sleeping when I am tired and having no agenda has been a true blessing. I will miss it until next year. Mickey Mouse, we have a date!
Prayer Map Completion!
