With Christmas fast approaching I have so much to be grateful for but I find myself being attacked with negativeness. I feel bad for my friends. I am consumed with stuff that is happening to me instead of all of the good things going on around me. There should be magic in the air but I think I killed 'magic'. I need to revive it... and fast! So I guess I am writing this to help me get over my cloud of doom and get back the magic Christmas has to offer. In honor I would like to reflect on my 2010 and find the positives of the year
Jan. - I started my LAST semester at school. I did Graduate in May but this was the beginning of seeing light at the end of the tunnel. I have never been so stressed but it all paid off! Another thing I wanted to mention that we did was snow shoeing! I never thought I would do that. It turned out awesome. There was lots of times that I thought I wouldn't make it to the top but with the guys (Bryce and Bryce - a mutual friend) I did make it! And it was amazing!
Feb - I was able to start the process of state boards to get licenced
March - Bryce and I got our pics done. Thanks to Beckah. She is amazing. I am very grateful for the friendship Beckah has given me, even when she took time out of her schedule to help me do something nice for a re-kindle relationship I am starting with my sister. Thanks you Beckah and I am grateful for the small unfolding relationship I have with my sister.
April - Vegas baby!!!!!
May - I got a new niece! She is adorable and cute and I would take her in a heartbeat. Too bad her mom loves her so much that she keeps a close watch on her when I (or anyone else) is around.
June - Our trailer came out of hibernation. I love summers for the fact of camping. I LOVE LOVE LOVE camping and if I could, I would spend all of my summers lounging in the mountains.
July - Bryce took his first ambulance ride. Although this may not seem a happy moment (it wasn't!) it did make me extremely grateful for the relationship that I have with him. You don't know what you have until you don't have it anymore (in my case, almost lost it)
August - We finished the deck! With Bryce's injury this was a challenging task but with communication and team work we were able to enjoy it and spend the rest of our summer out there. It turned out awesome!
Sept - We found out Debbie (Bryce's mom) was moving out. Although she didn't move out until Oct and there were lots of stressful moment I felt as if this is the day our life began as a couple... fully. When you have family living with you there is always a piece of your life that is missing. In my case, a piece that I was not able to experience. This month I learned I would be getting that experience.
October - This month I could have died the proudest aunt. My nephew got an opportunity that he has never had before and I was there to witness that. I am very proud of my nephew of what he has become. I cannot believe he is graduating in 5 short months!
Nov - Thanksgiving with my Brother and his family. Our first Thanksgiving with them. It was fun and I appreciate them taking time out of their schedule to make dinner for us!
Dec - It has been a really stressful month for me. I have been on overload yet I feel as if no one understand. In the end I have realized that I have many great friends who listen to my whining and who appreciate what I do. I think by far the best thing of the year will (hasn't happened yet) be that Bryce and I will spend our first Christmas alone together. I am sure it is something neither one of us will forget.
