Welcome 2012

2011 was a year of change for us.  Matt changed jobs, I changed my mindset and learned about taking things one at a time, and Gracie went for being a toddler to a full blown little girl.  I am thankful for this last year because it taught me a lot.  I learned that life isn’t about the things you want or have, what you want for the future, or wishing you could change the past.  Living life is about living in the present.  If you worry too much about things in the past or focus too much on what MIGHT come in the future, great moments that are happening right now will pass you by.  In the last few months, I have let this little lesson learned fly right out the window because I was too busy.  Life is busy, but if you are missing life, then that is the first clue you have to slow down.  Life is way too precious to let it just pass you by. 

So for 2012, I am going to live in the moment.  Of course I am going to worry about the future, I have too, I am an Army wife.  But I am not going to let it consume me.  There are many things I can change, but time is not one of them.  I can’t make it go faster or slower or forward or backwards.  But I CAN choose not to let it pass me by.   I am going to enjoy my husband, my child, my family, my friends; I am going to enjoy life.  You only get one!

Many great things happened this year.  Honestly, it was a great year for us.  Nothing huge or big happened, disappointments came and went, but I can look back on 2011 and remember it being a great year.

I am hopeful that 2012 will be as fulfilling and eventful as this last year in the best way possible.  I am happy with life.  There is no other place I would rather be but in this place in life.  Happy 2012, here’s to another great year!

*Coming Soon* As soon as we get home and settled I am going to do a revisit of 2011!
