Happy New Year

I have to say that I am pretty happy that this year is over.  As you know, this year has been a tough one for me. I started a new job, quit that job, started another that I really do like.  I started seeing a therapist, finally. I grew stronger in my faith.  I sought help regarding our struggle with starting a family and got put on Metformin.. So...I guess that all in all 2011 wasn't really all that bad...a year of taking a step in the right direction I guess. So...with that in mind...Here's to 2012 and the amazing blessings that I see coming our way.  I hope that each of you are blessed beyond your hopes in 2012.  Happy New Year!

Shot Down....

So...I pitched my idea for next Christmas to the family and they decided that they didn't think it was the best idea....nice, huh?  So...I guess that if they don't want to do it, they don't have to, but their gift from my husband and I will be a donation made in their name to one of our favorite Charities, or we will adopt a family with the money that the two of us would spend on them.And I will also suggest that instead of a gift for us, they give us a donation to put toward that Charity/Family.  I guess it doesn't need to be the entire family that participates, I just thought that maybe more people than just me would be willing to give instead of receive...I guess that's too much to ask for.

Yeesh!

It's been a month since my last Blog post,  and a busy month it has been! I have been working my arse off, we took a trip to KC to visit family, and celebrated Christmas here at home.  Honestly I could have done without the trip to KC...I would have much rather stayed home and gotten some much needed projects accomplished.  It was just a bad time of year to travel.
I wasn't much in the mood for Christmas this year.  I have been getting more and more grinchy about Christmas in the past few years and this year was the worst yet.  It just makes me so sad all the focus that is put on gifts and money for a bunch of crap that we don't really need.  So...next year I am suggesting that our family, instead of buying gifts for each other, we put whatever money we'd spend on those gifts and adopt a family or donate it to our local homeless shelter, and go to church together. We'll see how that plays out with my family....

Anyways, I hope that you and yours had an amazing Christmas and that God has blessed you with all that you have prayed for in 2011.  I think that 2012 will have some amazing blessings for me and my family.

Happy New Year!
