Happy New Years!!

I'm so looking forward to 2010!! Not only because the start of a new year is so exciting, but because to me, it's always a chance to wipe the slate clean and get rid of all of the negativity from the past year. We've had a lot of obstacles in the last year. The biggest to me were the 101 hurdles we had to jump through in order to get the house we've always dreamed of. When it wasn't one thing....it was another!! I want to thank my little sis, my mother in law, & my close friends,(especially Elisonia who always knew what to say & how to cheer me up), who gave me good words of encouragment & advice to get me through such a stressful time. On the other hand of that spectrum, there's always "family drama" that I am glad I moved away from. I have grown so tired of dropping what I'm doing & taking time away from my boys to help certain people out to only have them turn around and criticize & judge others when they don't get their way (even though they know that they're the ones in the wrong). Whoever knows me & knows how easygoing I am also knows I have low tolerance for bullsh*t. lol From now on, I am there for my dad & my little sis who have always been there for me through thick & thin & have loved me unconditionally. Everyone else can solve their own problems & take their drama elsewhere!! A person can only be so nice & take so much & I've definitely passed that point. I will leave all of that baggage in the hands of God. I know that he will not abandon me when I need him the most. On a more positive note....we are all finallly happy & at peace!! Hubby is doing great at work, my job isn't the best job but I am thankful to even have one & to be able to help provide for my family. The boys are doing great in school....adjusting & making friends. Evan has especially done a lot of learning & growing during this past year. He never ceases to amaze me with the things he comes up with =) God has been very good to us & we know that everything we've accomplished is thanks to him. We are also extremely grateful that my sister in law & her family are here & not only spent Christmas with us but will be bringing in the New Year with us too!! Oh, and best of all....next week we have a surprise visit!! Actually, a surprise for the boys cause I'm already aware of whose coming & when. I'm sooooo excited....I can't wait!! Anyway, for this New Year, my resolution is to take some classes that I've been wanting to take, to be more organized (you'd know what I mean if you would've seen my messy files a few weeks ago), to love more, to stress less, and to be more patient (my main fustration at work). lol I also want to make this a great year for my boys who deserve all of the best things in life for being such great kids. To all of my family and friends....have a blessed & safe New Year and may 2010 bring you plenty of love, peace, success, good fortune, and happiness, <3
