And a Happy New Year
We made it. Our drive home was not as great as the drive to Indiana. Everyone still did great, but we were much more tired and less motivated. It was cold, cold, cold. It was freezing and snowing all the way from Northwest Indiana through Tennessee which slowed us down quite a bit- not to mention a 30 min wait for our food to hit the table at a Cracker Barrel just outside of Louisville, KY. On our way to Indiana it never got colder than 40 degrees. On our way back to FL, we didn't see anything above 20 until southern Georgia and then it only reached 30. When we hit Tampa it was 47 degrees and the sunshine was warm. This kids were frustrated because they were so excited to play in the snow. However, it was all gone by the time we got there and only came back on the day we left. But we are back at home now, sufficiently messing up the place as much as we can.
I'm sad to see 2007 go. It was a wonderful year. It seemed to be the year of making our dreams come true. Scott had an awesome trip to South Africa, we moved to an awesome house in a wonderful neighborhood with outstanding schools, and of course the news of our soon coming baby girl to name a few.
There are some things I'm looking forward to in 2008. Topping the list is the birth of that baby girl! I'm excited to see the new church open and see the people of Tampa realize God's love for them. I have looked back at years past and wondered what else could happen or change in our lives. Every year brings more wonderful changes and new challenges. I am looking forward to what 2008 has to offer.
Happy New Year!

With joy, that is. Not sleep. :-)
I wish you a wonderful 2008 with your soon to be enlarged family !
I'm not sure which part of TN you drove through, but this week has been about the only time we've had really cold (relative) weather so far this fall/winter. If you had come through next week it would be in the 60s.
Hope this year brings a happy, healthy baby girl!
Happy New Year to you and yours!
Happy New Years Bane Family!
