2010 has been a pretty crazy year to say the least!!!! Huge career shift putting us in a financial situation we hadn't been faced with before, finding out we had another baby coming, an unexpected death in the family :(, my sis getting a near fatal bite from a snake, and other things have really made this year a roller coaster ride for sure! We had to make some really tough decisions, but we just know in our hearts that things are for the best and they will just keep getting better-even if it takes a ton of work....nothing worth achieving is achieved easily right?! My motto this year is pretty much the same as last year-to keep striving to be the best wife, mommy, sister, friend, etc... that my loved ones could ask for.
My advice for everyone else is to make decisions that benefit you and your family! Don't do things because everyone else is doing them!! Do what's best for you and yours FIRST!!! For example, if we had not made the decision to change his career, J would still be in the Navy hating life right now in the command he was at and be locked into it for another 2.5 years. It's never a good thing to be in a position where you are extremely under-appreciated among many other just WRONG things that went down. He made a decision that was best for us and it's been awesome having him home for about a year. It makes up for the time he missed out in LJ's and my life because of being deployed and stuck on a ship 24/7 LITERALLY. It's truly been amazing to get to spend each waking day together (minus going back and forth from Army training on and off). Now I know this won't last because of the plans for the future, but I must say I didn't take it for granted one bit because I know God gave us that time together because we needed it. I'm so positive about the future and am really excited to see what this year brings for us.
In just a few days I will be holding my newborn baby boy and I couldn't be happier! Not excited about the labor part at all, but who is?! He is such a blessing and I'm so excited for my hubby to be able to witness it this time!!!! This year is all about family for us. We have 2 children now and our priorities are those little boys. Everything we do is for them and they have made me a better person each day <3 I feel a bit wiser from the experiences we have gone through in 2010, but I also know that I have a ton more learning to do in the years to come. I'm truly proud of myself and the graceful person I am becoming:) 2011 is all about family!!! It's been awesome moving back home and being able to get a deeper relationship with my sister and other family members after being gone for over 6 years. I'm looking forward to our future plans and can't wait to put them into practice with God's help!
