Good morning everyone! It has been about a month since my last post and for that I am deeply sorry. December was full of crazy drama due to an event that I was a part of... That will probably need it's own little blurb when it's finally OVER. Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Personally, I am beyond happy that I have officially buried 2016. It was a year of many firsts and hopefully lasts... I went to places I had never been before, seen and done things I hadn't before and even experienced horrible things I wish I hadn't. I don't think I've ever been more ready for a fresh start with a brand new calendar. Some of the changes I have encountered may give me some more time to do THIS.. Wouldn't that be something? To actually fill out a month's worth of posts IN a month... Hmm... A resolution? Perhaps... Then again, it is only 6:45 am (and I HAVE been up since 4:45) so I could just be delirious.. Hmm.. I guess we'll see what happens! What I've been shown very greatly this past year is that it's good to have some pillar friends. I don't like to have a TON of friends because honestly, that's a TON more stuff that comes with them.. More birthdays, time slots to fill, drama. Yeah.. When it comes to CLOSE friends, I have a handful. Thankfully though, my handful is pretty amazing and helped hold me up even when I wanted to fall. That whole blip is in the past but I'm still very thankful and grateful for the people who helped me through it. With that being said, this is a highlight reel for the POSITIVE crap that last brought me...
- I went to Medieval Times for the first time ever
- My family and I took a vacation that went somewhere BESIDES Michigan for a change (Myrtle Beach)
- The girls all had great birthdays turning 11, 8 and 2.
- My oldest daughter was accepted to a great middle school academy
- We got a minivan! (Yes, it may seem sad but if you're a mom who has one, you get it!)
- My husband got a new job with an amazing company
- I got another (Ok, TWO) tattoo
- My husband bought me an Xbox One
- My brother flew down to drive up to MI with me and then lived with us for 2 months while helping me with the Christmas event.
- The girls and I went to Michigan
- My sister had her first baby girl
- I became a helpful aunt to my nieces
- We celebrated our anniversary alone and actually DID stuff
- My best friend got married and moved into a new home
- I got a new phone that was recalled for blowing up (but I still have it....)
- The baby moved out of the crib and has slept PERFECTLY in her twin size race car bed with NO problems!
And the list goes on...
I'm happy about all the positive stuff but I'm still glad to put it behind me. I am hopeful that this new year holds good things for me and my family. Our biggest adventures include wiping away debt and moving into a house that will be OURS! That is probably the thing I am most excited for... A new house. It just sets the stage for everything new and good to come for us. More room... better location... NO FREAKING LANDLORD! Ah yes.. So many positives.. That will have it's own post too as we ramp to that exhausting process. In short, thank you 2016 for your good things, new trips, great memories, good movies, memorable songs, and even the amusing sorted drama. You won't be as missed as other years by any means but I wouldn't have the good things if you simply didn't exist and so... rest in peace last year. Good bye forever.
Happy NEW year everyone! Have a great Sunday! (Without Walking Dead sadly...)
