Happy New Year!!!






It's 2011! I can't believe it! 2010 started out a little rough, with my broken foot and the delay in getting my nursing license. It ended really well though! We got out of Casa Grande by renting our house out to some really wonderful people. We now live in a great neighborhood with an awesome school just a block away. I landed my dream job and my family is healthy. What more can I ask for??

We had a New Years get together with some of Bryan's friends from work. Two couples and their children came over to celebrate. This was the first year Arizona allowed fireworks so we went all out at the fireworks stand. LOL! Our neighbors probably hated us that night. It was really COLD so we sat around the firepit and let the kids have free reign of the house and yard. They had so much fun playing and actually made it until midnight! I was surprised!

At midnight we had our champagne toast. Here's to a great 2011!!!!

Resolution- I'm not going to resolve to lose weight or have more or be better this year. My resolution is to learn how to be CONTENT with what I have. My life is pretty awesome and it seems like in the past, once I achieve a goal, I already have my sights set on the next "thing". Over the past 6 years, I've had 4 children, completed school, got a job, moved, bought 2 cars, gone on lots of vacations, gained weight, lost weight, gained weight, exercised, not exercised, made new friends, and lost a few along the way. In 2011 I am just going to enjoy. I'm happy where I am, I'm happy with the people I have chosen to have in my life. My kids are wonderful and my marriage is wonderful. 2011 will be a year of enjoyment!


New years is always bitter sweet though. Nolan's birthday is on January 2nd. I can't believe it's already been 3 years since his birth. I miss him and think of him every single day. He'll forever be in our hearts. I had to work on his birthday and it was actually easier than I thought it would be. Somehow helping out new mommies and babies was very therapeutic for me. It's nice to see new life and be in such a happy place on such a hard day. We love you Nolan! Happy birthday, son.
