Year two-thousand-ten


A new year..
I'm definately welcoming this year with open arms.
2009 brought good things.. such as:
my long awaited beautiful baby girl
adventures in moving place to place
precious time with my husband and kids
and along with that came tons of great memories..

but other than that.. I really feel as though the past year was a standstill in everything else.
There is just so much that I wanted to happen that I thought would happen.. getting a new car.. gettin our own place .. on and on :) but it was not to be. And at first I was a bit down about all that. As though we didn't accomplish much. But I know we really have done so much. Things you can physically see and things you cannot. Our relationship is better than ever and our kids are so amazing to us and everything they do for us. Really they are making me the best person I can be. With the new year here the past has been on my mind. And I realize again and again, The past is the past. I made that decision in high school that led us here. Nothing could change that. Now I look at where we are and it is so amazing and really mind boggling. How could I ever regret my and our decision. I feel like I have learned so much, and someday I want to do something to help other girls who find themselves in the same situation.

Welcome to my life 2010! I can't wait to see what this year brings.. good, bad, ugly. Come what may. I got my beautiful family and I couldn't be more grateful.
