2011!

I am looking forward to a great year!It always amazes me how much can change in one year. I think about where I was last year and all the events that happened throughout 2010 and it makes me wonder where I will be this time next year. I thought it would be nice to write about where I am now so I can look back on it next year. Not that I will forget in one short year- LOL:) I just think it will be neat to look back on . . .

I am 31 Josh is 6 and he is in 1st grade. He is doing great in school and enjoys going to karate, awana & choir. I STILL work at the deli but I am bored and really want to figure out what it is I want to do other then waitress. John has been sick lately and I am trying to take care of him as best as I can. My sister, brother in law and my 2 nieces are getting ready to move to a whole different state this week. I am seeing a special someone, he is awesome but we both have soooo much going on this year it will be interesting to see what happens.  2010 was good to me- we moved into our new place that we love, we had 2 orange furry additions to the family & Josh started a new school!!!! 2010 was all about being happy- picking myself up and moving on from 2009 (which was  a heartbreaking year) I have so much I want to do this year. Life changing plans that I am so excited about!!!!

Christmas 2010

We had a lovely Christmas!

The holidays came fast for me this year. It seems like every year I save most of my shopping for the last minute- I shouldn't do this. Every year I also promise myself that I will start shopping earlier, I just am not good at Christmas shopping early?!?  Last week was very hectic -I am trying to relax more this week with Josh. I am going to enjoy our time off together by playing with all his fun new toys. It was so sweet on Christmas morning he ran down the steps & started opening his first present- he stopped- looked up and said "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS - I LOVE YOU!"  It was so awesome- it made me so proud to hear Josh give Jesus the glory He deserves on His special day:)  

Here are some pictures of our week - we attempted a gingerbread house - played with our crazy cats - & enjoyed the Christmas decorations( they get packed up pretty fast around here)

Josh did a great job in The Christmas Pageant  as a lil' angel!!!

We had a great time with family! It's so fun watching the kiddies opening their presents & seeing those sweet little faces light up:)

I hope you are enjoying your week:)

Happy New Year . . .
