New Years.

I really sometimes despise New Years. It's really a time for people to lie to themselves. Lie that they are going to loose those extra 5 lbs, lie that their relationship is going to get better, Lie that they are going to change anything that they currently do. Then, you get the people that say that they want to get closer to God. Do not get me wrong. I think that it is great that someone wants that but shouldn't they want that 365 days? Shouldn't we all want to make changes year round? I just don't understand why we wait until the beginning of the new year to make changes. I mean is it because we haven't changed anything in the old one? Because we are not at a stage in our lives that we want to be at so we cope? Whatever the reason for a resolution this year I don't know that mine is going to be any great change. I mean I know that there are things that I can do better but I really think that the things that I have gotten right this year are amazing and if nothing changes, if I am still in a similar position next year. Sitting on my couch in my p.j.'s with cute dogs on them, with a husband that perterbs me sometimes but I still love. With a roof over my head, my bills paid, and food in my belly I will be thankful. If I have people to love that love me in return the same as this year I will be happy. I dont need a new job or promotion. I dont need purpose in my life. I have that. My God, My Job, and my Husband, and my Family and friends. But, if the throng of angry new year's partiers insist that I make a resolution fine. Here it is.

To be more in love with my husband, family and friends than I already am.
To be sucessful in my job and in my school so maybe next year a second college degree can be within my grasp.
To continue on in my relationship with God.
To take the time to make memories that I will never forget and that will always cherrish.
To travel.
and, to just be overall happy.

So, to everyone out there Happy New Year. But more importantly, I hope you made memories in the old year that are worth remembering

It's been awhile....

I havent updated in a while. I guess it doesn't really matter since I am really the only one that is reading this. Oh Well. It gives me stress relief.

I am registered for my first class with Liberty University Online. Go ME. I know that it really isnt that big of a deal but I am glad that I have a 4 year institution that I am attending and that part of my future is secure. I'm not going to lie. I was really beginning to have nightmares regarding that.

Cody's grandmother's health is worsening and it doesnt seem like it will be long before she goes home. I do not think that this news has exactly registered with Cody yet. I know that I would be upset if it were my grandmother but then again his reactions have never been exactly what I have expected in the past. I wish I knew what he was thinking at times! But, I guuess there is no reason to judge how he deals with things.

Due to his grandmothers health we have had to rearrange things here at my house. Finish organizing the guest bedrooms, get caught up on paperwork and laundry, write a manual for respite. Nobody ever promised us an easy life but I consider myself blessed to have a roof over my head and food in my belly! (Oh yeah, and money to go shopping!) Day to day life kind of overwhelms us sometimes but we just have to remember that there is no need to panic. We are doing what God called us to do and that is what is important.

Christmas was good. Really good. I got to get together with family, eat amazing food, even got exactly what I wanted. Overall, one of the best Christmases I have ever had. Still have one or two presents left to deliever but I guess technically I have until the end of January to finish.

There are other things that deserve honorable mentions in this including, Snow, Bird Pictures, and more but I just dont want to.
