So I'm not going to bother explaing who I am and all that stuff because if you are reading this, you obviously know me and I like you well enough to allow you to read my blog :) I will warn you ahead of time, I'm not a fabulous writer so bear with me.
  Well I'm going to begin by saying that starting this blog is something that I've wanted to do for awhile but I never got around to it so why not start one now. Today is January 1st. and yes, I've made some New Year's resolutions and I'm hoping to keep them all. So far I've kept one resolution and that was to start a blog, so yay, 1 down and about 4 more to go. This year is going to be a year of lots of firsts for me and my little family. We'll be moving to Peoria, hopefully by March, and helping with a church plant. Now Lamar and I have never lived anywhere but good ol' Arthur, Illinois and needless to say, I'm pretty excited for this adventure. I know there's going to be lots of growth, tears, laughter,etc. but it's time for a change so bring it on. I've found myself saying "bring it on" a lot in the last couple of days and part of me has to ask myself, am I really ready for it or am I just saying that to try to psyche myself up for everything that's going to happen this year. Well if you continue to follow my blog I'm sure you'll find out if I'm actually ready for everything that's about to happen. So my goal with this blog is to write everyday so that way at this time next year I can look back and see what crazy adventure we went on. I'm very happy to say goodbye to 2010 and hello to 2011, last year was not a very good year for me and I'm hoping this is a year is a year that's just going to knock my socks off. So stay tuned, if you dare, and see what this year will bring.
