Coming to the end of a year

I know I suck and I haven't written in a long time. I can't believe Christmas is over and we are coming to the end of 2008. I will give a brief update from our family and will try to do a better job of keeping this blog up to date. I hope you all had a great Christmas.
Emma and Maggie are growing up very fast. Emma has one semester left of preschool and then next year will be a kindergartner. She is very excited to grow up and be a big girl. She asked for an Ipod for Christmas and was very excited by every big girl thing she was given. She also wants us to buy a new house so she can have her own room. I can't believe I have a teenager in a 4 year old body as a daughter. This year she is doing gymnastics and cheer leading. She loves both of them and can't wait until February when they have a cheer competition. Maggie is growing up as well, but she is still a toddler and very much 2 even though we still have a few weeks before she actually turns 2. She has a great personality and loves to pick on people. She likes to cheer with her big sister for the Vandals, and I figure they can use all the cheering they can get. She also loves horses, elephants and Elmo. Andy and I are just trucking through life trying to find time to spend together and as a family. We are both still very involved at church. He is leading music in a band and I am on the Woman's ministry team. This is a huge change for me, and has been a struggle. I know God has a plan and I will just keep doing what He puts in front of me. Andy has been writing music with the guys in his band and they played their first gig at our Christmas party this month. It was a lot of fun, and great to see him doing what he loves. We are looking to buy a bigger house hopefully sometime between now and spring. I am also counting down the days until my best friend moves out here from Virgina. That pretty much catches you up. I hope you all have a great new year and like I said I will try and keep you posted.
