Happy New Year

New Years
With the help of Ralf and Tanja and Ralf and Grietje we rung in 2008. In honor of my first New Years in Germany we kept things very traditional - spending hours at the dining table eating Raclette (a special Swiss or French cheese that is heated under a grill and then scraped onto your plate to be eaten with potatoes, pickles, etc.), watching Dinner for One, and then enjoying the fireworks on our street at midnight. Our Italian neighbors put on a great show for us! After our guests headed back home we spent the rest of New Years day walking back through the pictures and moments of 2007 and thanking God for a seeing us through another year. He has certainly been gracious to us and blessed us!
