So the missus tells me this may be the biggest year ever (of our own lives).  I’d have to say that she just may be on to something.  Things that could happen this year.

1.  Baby Maybe. That’s right Zeke…we may adopt another dog!  Or…we might begin to walk down that road known as “trying to have a baby.”  Either way, another mouth may be fed in our house…and either way, it’ll still be a few months before that “process” even gets going at all.  So listen up Debbie and Laura…no grandkids yet!  Patience!

2.  Home We Own. Me and Amy have been blessed each year of our marriage with an amazing rental home that was just perfect for us at that specific time.  We are now in the beginning stages of looking at homes and thinking about what we want.

3.  Bob’s Job. I’m in conversations with my “wise counsel” about further-down-the-road kinda stuff.  Ways to grow in my role within ministry and avenues to pursue to deepen my education.

4.  Video Schmideo. I just wanted to have another rhyming thing here, although Video Schmideo is the coolest video rental store name ever.  Amy saw it one time in Chicago.  Hilarious.

5.  ‘09 is the Time. Me and the missus have both jumped head-first into a few New Year’s resolutions, and they’re holding strong so far.  For Amy, that involves eating right, buying right, and excercising right.  From fresh-green salads to energy-saving light bulbs to pain-inducing yoga she seems to be doing great.  For me, that involves being very intentional in my guy friendships, really enjoying the sport of soccer again, and writing and recording my first (and only?) album.  I’ve always wanted to do it.  As far as we’re concerned, ‘09 might as well be the time!

Will it be the our biggest year ever?  Hmm…maybe, baby.
