Inauguration 2009...

We had a snow day today, which was really nice. I never even got out of my PJ's, which was great. I spent some time watching the Inauguration events today and I think everything that's happening is pretty great. I'm interested to see what happens over the next four years, and it's just getting started! I really don't remember watching any other inauguration, but I probably have. Maybe it just didn't seem as important as the one today or maybe I just wasn't as interested. Either way, I enjoyed what I saw today (or maybe it was that I got to watch it in my pajamas???). 

My family is doing ok, but My Granny went back into the hospital last night for the third time this year (and it is only January 20th). We really aren't sure what's going on but I hope we can find something out soon. The first two times it started out with her sugar, but not this time so it's pretty puzzling. Granny will be 86 in just a couple of weeks so she has lived a long life, but she's very tough and I just don't think she's ready to give up, and the rest of us aren't either. 

I really wonder what changes will have happened by the time we reach January 20, 2012?? 
2012... the year I turn 30, 8th graders will graduate high school, seniors will finish college (hopefully!), children who are one will be starting Kindergarten, I will have several new family members and will probably have lost a few, so many possibilities for even just four years down the road. I just pray that I will do what God wants me to do and live in a way that honors him.

Hey Emily, don't really know how I happened upon your blog, but I did. I think it will be so neat to have this to look back on in the future. I can't believe we'll be 30 during the next presidential election :(. Really puts things in perspective. Glad you are doing well!
