So here we are... almost 2 months after my last post. My last post {November 5th} which consisted of promises and blogs to come. I'm going to be negative for a moment and blame it on my hectic schedule. {But -- I know deep down that is not an excuse} I ENJOY blogging. I LOVE taking pictures. I have a PASSION for being creative and completing projects, updates, and even rooms within my home. T.I.M.E is my enemy.
Tomorrow is the last day of 2014. Holy cow, did that year fly by. I have to admit I had one of the best years of my life. It was the last year of my twenties and as I reflect I feel pretty good with how I spent my time, money, and memories. At this time last year I just finished up my second day at TCC Daycare. I was offered the position of Childcare Director and I obviously accepted. I've been there a YEAR. I feel pretty good about the year put in, as well as my staff that have been supportive and patient as I learn and we grow as a center. In February I turned 29. (And in 2 months I turn 30) I'm not sure why, but I'm almost excited about that. As stated above the last year of my twenties, was easily one of the best years of my life. I can only expect my 30's to be that much better! July 4th, 2014 -- I married my best friend. I still can't grasp the amazing plan God has for me. I know a man most of my life... his family being very good friends with mine and one day we both get the feeling it can be more. Then, I get to marry him and spend the rest of my life being his wife. The emotions come back just typing about it: love.happiness.friendship.compromise.God.communication.growth.memories.laughter.tears.love September 16th -- I took a test... it was positive. I cried. Spent all day at work before going to buy a second test (of a different brand) it was positive too. Waiting forever for Gabe to get home. We both cried. It was amazing. December 16th -- We paid off all of our debt (besides our mortgage) I've been asked several times if were going to call into the Dave Ramsey show. [If you know me at all, you know I'm a huge fan.] Yet -- I want to pay off our house first... and THEN maybe drive to Tennessee and yell.. WE'RE DEBT FREE right there with Mr. Ramsey himself. December 29th -- We ended the year finding out the gender of our baby. It was a whirlwind of a day due to our appointment actually being at 7:30 in the AM and not finding out until 6:30 that night. A little baby BOY will arrive in May. (If he is on time) We will call him Jude Lawrence. [Jude is a male version of "Judy" and that happens to be the name of my late grandmother. Mark, Gabe's brother, also has the middle name Lawrence. Gabe's late grandfather's name was Lawrence Filer. {I think it is cool his Grandpa didn't have a middle name} A blog on the reveal will be posted tomorrow. 365 days in 1 year. I reflect back and think... it looks good. I mean I had a lot of REALLY GREAT things happen this year. Yet, I still feel I could of some how did better. Maybe we always think that, maybe it is because I'm pregnant and even more emotion than I usually am, but I want to continue to live life in the fullest manner I can. I think my goal this upcoming year is to focus on 3 things. 1. My relationship with God and what HIS plan is for my time. 2. Live a positive life. 3. Be a wife that my husband feels proud of and a mother my son adores. 3 Goals that sound achievable, but through all my scheduling-organizing-planning-and re-organizing... I sometimes forget to take a moment to breath, and enjoy the precious time we are given each day. So here is to the last day of 2014.... and another wonderful year to come. Let's use our time to do something amazing with our lives. |
