Actually the best part of 2006 to me, is the fact that no severe calamity struck our family. I am always really grateful when we have a peaceful year like this past one. I don't even think that Nick spent any time in jail this past year, atleast not much anyway, so that is a great relief. He has been straightening out his life a lot lately, and that is the miracle that has happened in the year 2006. It's the year that Nick turned his life around, and started to come to his senses. The year that Nick was blessed to stay out of big trouble, unlike his friends, who got in big trouble. Our family was really blessed in this way this past year.

I think the worst part of 2006 was when I found out that Nick was having a baby this early on in his life. I felt sorry for him the day that we found that out. This has been a year of being concerned for Nick, and babysitting Anna, my Granddaughter. Not much of a year for furthering my own interests, that's for sure.

In the year 2007, I am wanting to lose 4 pounds per month on the average, so that I will be thin again at this time next year. I have figured out how to go about this, and I have also figured out what I have been doing wrong. I haven't been having enough patience or perserverence. That has officially changed now.

I also want to get our house in tip top shape so that we can refinance and get a better loan this year. That is a huge goal of ours, because we got a really crappy loan that we need to get out from under somehow. And we have way too much extra stuff here that we need to get rid of, to say the least. So, those are my 2 goals for the year, and I'm pretty sure both of them, plus having my 18 month old Granddaughter everyday, will keep me busy for the year.
