Saturday, Dec. 29, 2001 - 10:43 p.m. - First Friday Five
 A first for “Reach for the Stars”! I’m finally going to participate in Heather’s Friday Five!! I’ve been meaning to for sometime, but just never seemed to write on Friday nights. I realize I’m LATE with it, but I figured, better late than never! Ok, here goes: What was your biggest accomplishment this year? Hmmm…to be honest I’m not sure how to answer this question. I guess staying positive through so many disappointments and difficult situations. Learning how strong I can be in the face of huge hurdles. And learning how much I love my husband and how he will go through so much to make me happy. What was your biggest disappointment? Sadly, this is an easy one. Not becoming a mother yet again -- my failed IVF. To go through so much only to have it fail, is truly heartbreaking. I had such high hopes for this year and it has just been one difficult hurdle after another with very few ‘thrills’ inbetween. Will you be making any New Year’s resolutions? Well, I usually make some, but I rarely ever keep them! The only one I can remember keeping was in 1998, when I said I wanted to be engaged by the end of the year. (hee hee) That really put the pressure on Michael, but I think it worked! This year I want to resolve to write at least 4 journal entries a week, even if they are short (but that is my problem, I can’t ever be brief). That’s the only one I have at the moment though. Where do you wish you were celebrating? Hmmm…I haven’t really thought about it. I wouldn’t mind celebrating on the beach in Maui surrounded with my whole family and a few dear friends. What do you plan to do for New Year’s Eve? We plan to go to our neighbor’s for their annual Black Tie bash. It’s a good time and we enjoy spending time with our neighbors. Though I might add that I’m a little disappointed in them right now, since hardly anyone showed up for our party last night and we held it FOR our neighbors. I’ll admit I was a little hurt that the people we are the closest to didn’t show up! Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? I definitely must do this again! I’ve received a few nice comments on the pictures of our home and I thank you! We’ve worked hard to make it “ours” and as cozy as possible. I do have some more pictures if you’d like to take a look at all that we’ve done at: And I could sure use a few more helpful suggestions about my quandary!! I still don’t have the situation worked out.
