Goodbye 2011

Ok well 2011 has been a challenging year to say the least!

FAMILY

My mom had cancer and had to have surgery and by a grace of god is now cancer free.  When things like this happen you really look at your life and the people that are in it and you wonder what you would do if they were suddenly gone....I know i have no idea what i would do with out my mom, she is where my strength comes from and she is the glue of my family.  My husband decided to go back to the jails to work and leave the streets, which more than i'm sure he wants to admit was a hard decision, but it was a great decision for our family.  He is going to go back to school and FINALLY finish his degree.  I'm so proud of him, he is such an amazing husband and father.  Our roads has never been a easy one but we have grown because of the challenges and we are closer and stronger than ever.

SKYLA


OMG she is such an amazing little girl.  She does something almost everyday that just shocks me and amazes me at the same time.  She has made so many accomplishments this year. Here are a few: learned to crawl, learned to sit up, loves adult food, has an amazing taste for food, learn to walk , learned to run, climbs stairs, talks all the time, no longer on a bottle, doesn't have a pacifier, very independent, daring, loving, affectionate, had her first birthday party, loves to learn new things, went swimming for the first time and loved it, makes friends where ever she goes, always happy and smiling even when she doesn't feel 100%, can be sneaky, little on the tough side, becoming more of a daddys girl (unless shes sick),  has no fear.

WORK

My boss got promoted at work which was great for her, but scary and challenging for me.  To say the least my work life has been in a bit of shambles and i have been on pins and needles trying to figure out if i will be getting promoted ..... and is it something that i want?  I have been dealing with all these emotions while still having to have a brave face for my support managers, which is not always something that is easy to do. There are a lot of questions going through my head when it comes to work and i'm hoping 2012 will help brings some good news and clarity. 


Well I think that about sums it up.  Here is saying goodbye to 2011 and hello 2012 hope you bring lots of good news and love and joy to my family and those i love.
