As I sit here getting ready to celebrate another year gone by, I am thinking about this past year. It has had its ups and downs but for the most part I am one lucky girl! I got married to my best friend, went back to school, I made so many wonderful new friends, and made even more wonderful memories with old friends and my family.
So as I sit here thinking of all these wonderful things I also think that with a new year comes new opportunities, and I am determined to take advantage of all of them and there are a few things that I need to remember.
1: My insurance deducible is no longer met. (just kidding, but totally serious)
2: If I think I am having a bad day, I will just turn the TV to Judge Joe Brown and just take a look at those classy people.
3: To not get mad when people cut me off on the connector, obviosuly if they are determined to cut me off when I am going 15 over the speed limit they are in a much bigger hurry than I am.
4: When the front and back rows at school feel the need to say something oh so "intelligent" listen and take it for what it is, complete entertainment.
5: When my husband comes home and undresses at the front door, not to get mad, just let his clothes pile up, and then after awhile maybe the dog will have new chew toys.
6: When my friends come over for a night full of good times, to lock the bathroom door at a certain point in the night, because if not someone will pass out and lock themselves in the bathroom. (You know who you are)
7: To not leave homework until the "11th hour" as Mr. Thompson calls it.
8: When a small child, who will not be named, grabs my chest when I hold him, not to get upset because it is a little less creepy than if a full grown man who is a complete stranger comes up and out of nowhere grabs my chest. (yes it has happened, such classy people I run into)
These were all in fun, but seriously things for me to remember in 2011:
1: I was blessed to be born into such a wonderful family. No matter what, remember this. Even if Dad yells at me for dropping an ice cube on the hard wood floor, or for putting the recycling in the wrong can. Even if Mom texts me at 11 PM asking who's number it was, (haha kidding mom). Even if my sister takes me on scary streets in Eugene, Oregon to jump her car over humps in the road, and even if my other sister locks herself in my bathroom after a night out on the town.
2: I am blessed to have met the man of my dreams, and to have had him finally marry me! ;) I got to have such a wonderful wedding, which I will never forget because it was such a beautiful moment, and because I had a blast, even if Josh C. tried to dance up on me like a mad man when I was dancing the cha-cha-slide.
3: I am blessed to have married into such a wonderful family. They are a family full of jokesters, just like me, and I can be myself around them. Plus I gained another wonderful sister :) even if I have to order 20 tacos at Jack in the Box at 1 AM
4: I am blessed to have such wonderful friends. We have made some wonderful memories in the past year alone! There are some that are there for me when I need a good time and a good laugh, and there are others who are there for me when I need to cry until I look like sloth from the Goonies (anyone who has seen me like this, I am so sorry haha)
5: When I feel defeated by something, to keep my head up. God has a plan for me, and I need to stay on that path and do the best I can.
6: By the end of 2011, I will be finished with school! (At least for awhile)
7: When I feel like nothing else in my life could possibly get any worse, it can, so not to think like that. I can't let these things get to me!
8: No matter what I have set in front of me, I can do my best to handle it the way God wants me to.
9: We may not have any babies yet, (which we are hoping for in the new year) but we have 3 wonderful fur-babies, who are ALL spoiled rotten!
10: That it is a new year and I can make this year a great one! I have a wonderful husband, wonderful fur-babies who cheer me up, a wonderful family, and great friends.
For everyone who is involved in my life, I can't wait to see what the next year brings us! I love you all and hope you all have a wonderful and SAFE time tonight! :)
Here are a few pics from our life in 2010, ENJOY!!!!
