New Year and Filled With Expectation

2011 is gone and 2012 is here!  I am so excited about this year.  I haven't felt that way in a long time about a new year.  I just feel like great things are going to happen in my life and in the lives of those around me.  I have some goals that I am aspiring to obtain this year.  Some of my goals are as follows:  to lose 30 pounds, clear clutter from my house, take more pictures, take a photography or writing class, further develop my relationship with God.  Overall I want to strive to be a better person each day.  I'm glad that 2011 is over.  I went through a lot of things and put up with somethings that I never should have put up with.  It's time for me to love myself enough to take care of myself.  As a result I'll be able to take better care of my family.  I must remind myself that no matter what anyone else says or things I am worthwhile and I matter.  I've decided that I will speak up for myself more and not let people run over me.  If some get offended by that so be it.  Last year I learned so much.  I also decided to transition from getting relaxers to my natural curly hair.  This has been interesting.  I'm 7 months out from my last relaxer.  It sure is an interesting journey.  But I didn't to just hack off all my hair since I'm used to having a nice length of hair.

My Children are growing up so quickly.  Soon I'll have a 8, 7, 5 and 3 year old.  In the fall all my boys will be in elementary school.  Just yesterday I was looking at my oldest son and realized that before I know it he'll be  as tall as me.  I am enjoying being a stay at home mom.  I know the time will soon come when I'll aspire to do something different.  I really want to go back to school so I'll need to get the ball rolling on that.

This year my darling husband and I will celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary.  Where has the time gone?  It sure did fly by.  The day we got married seems like a lifetime ago. 

This year I am going to try to do more posts on this blog.  Since I started it I really haven't put much effort into it.  Maybe this will be the year that I finally get the ball rolling.

I don't know what this year will bring.  But I belive that good things will happen.
