Our "New" New Years Tradition

Last year we did something as a family that we enjoyed so much, that we decided to make it a tradition! At the beginning of 2009, we sat down as a family and wrote out our predictions for what we thought would happen with our family before 2010. Then, during Christmastime, we sat down and got out that paper and read our predictions. It was an amazing, funny thing to read. I know that these pieces of paper will be treasured for many years to come. I think I will highlight all of the predictions that actually came true. I was so surprised at how many of mine actually happened in 2009.


Here are a few of my predictions from the beginning of 2009.


I will become a Scentsy Director. I came so close. Only one level away. I am very proud of that accomplishment.

Aaron will change jobs. He was part of a layoff at Clear Channel. He was unemployed for 5 months and is now a Sales Manager at Aaron's Rentals.

Aaron and I will be involved in church in ways we have not thought of. While Aaron was unemployed, we stepped out in faith and joined a leadership group at our church that cost us $400. God is doing great things in our lives.

We will have an awesome family vacation. Just after Aaron got let go from Clear Channel, we decided to take a vacation to Tennessee. We had a great time!


Feel free to make this a tradition with your own family. It is so much fun and a great way to make memories!
