HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Last night was very quiet since Sam and Sara were spending New Year's Eve at their friends house and David wanted to play games.  So Ryan and I went to bed early.  While I was laying there watching tv trying to stay up I came across a movie I have heard a lot about but have never seen "An Affair to Remember". It is metioned in "Sleepless In Seattle".  Now I know what all the hype and crying was about.  While I was watching the movie Midnight rolled around and I could hear all the Fireworks going off.  I got up and went to the balacny and saw how wonderful our view is.  I could see all of the fireworks from across the valley.  Up and down the mountain were beautiful bursts of color.  It makes me feel like everyone should come to my house for the 4th of July and we would have a great time without having to drive anywhere. 

I think that is the great thing about a new house.  All the little things that you did not know you had.  Like a view that shows you all the firework displays, neighbors that come over and shovel your drive and being so close to family!!  What a great way to start the new year, thinking of all the great blessings that are in your life.
