Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2008! We wish you all a fabulous year.

We had a great little family party last night. We made lots o' food, danced on the coffee table (to Brickhouse, Tainted Love and Mambo No. 5), and watched movies as we rang in the New Year. The kids both made it to midnight -- and threw multi-colored confetti all over the living room when the ball dropped at Times Square. Our friends Lisa and Mike and their children Karli and Lauren stopped by for awhile. It couldn't have been a better night. :)

During dinner last night, we talked about our goals for 2008. Christian said he wanted to "count to 2008." Bergen just wants to play more games. Jay wants to get more fishing in, and my hope is to get accepted into a graduate program in creative writing.

We've already started working toward these goals! So far, we've counted to 110 on our quest for 2008. Bergen's on his way to the game closet as I write this. Jay's spent the last week packing for his upcoming ice fishing trip; he leaves Thursday morning. I've been working on my grad school application materials for what feels like months. I'm sending my first round of applications in March. I'll let you know how it goes!

Alright, it looks like I'm being challenged to a hot game of Sorry! I get to be green. Wish me luck... :), Jen
