out with the old...in with the new

     well its a new year and we all have to look back on 2010 and figure out what kind of year it has been...has it been exciting, boring, horrible, great?  then once you figure that all out you have to look ahead to the new year and see what can be better.  we grow older, our kids get bigger, and our bills seem to mulitply...catching up from christmas and the holidays, figuring out what to get rid of and what to keep....

    our decorations are down and the house is back to normal, the kids are going back to school and elizabeth is growing like a weed....


     do you make resolutions?  i do...i write them down, stick them in an envelope and tape it to december of the following year on my calendar....this years will be as following...

    1.  get into shape (isnt that always one?)
    2. eat healthy
    3. grow closer to todd and my kids
    4. get to detroit more to visit my family
    5. get to vicksburg more to see the zellers
    6.  get in touch with the ontis family and start a relationship with them
    7.  forgive and forget those who have shit on me in 2010


     so how many will make it?  we shall see next year...all i can say is that 2010 had its really dark, shitty moments but i tell you what it was a great year all together, i got married, my husband had a great year at work and my kids were here more than they have ever been.  kaila is doing great in school and her teacher has so many nice things to say, liz is talking lots more, she knows how to count to 11 and she knows her colors and shapes and she is only 2....bradley is doing much better with his reading and math and strives to be better than ever, he really likes to read and get his math under control...todd has grown as a father and a husband and he is doing so well at work that we dont see much of eachother but that is the reason there is food on the table and lights in the house...

     so things can only get better right?  i hope they grow in such a positive way that 2012 cant get much better!!

    thank you to the zellers, the vaughns, todd, and the kids for making 2010 a great year and i hope for better in 2011....love you all and thank you so much!!
