most favorite memory of 2006:
when i showed charles the pee stick from our pregnancy test.

it has been a very full year- God has been very generous to us.

last night, we went out for a nice dinner at typhoon as our christmas gift to one another. it was great. then we came home and took a nap watched part of a movie and prayed in the new year together. it was wonderful.

my first goals of 2007 involve staying in pajamas all day and doing nothing. i'll let you know how it pans out. other things to look forward to in 2007- obviously- the arrival of our first baby, three months away from work, charles' trip to nigeria, and seeing how parenthood impacts our followership of Jesus.

things we will continue to pray diligently for in 2007 is a safe and healthy delivery of our baby, the elections in nigeria, direction for graduate studies, and how to be parents.

hope you are having a good day off!
