2011 is finally here!!!

Happy New Years!!!!

I have never wanted a year to be over so bad...I was really excited to start 2011. I was counting the hours on the 31st :) Don't get me wrong 2010 had its amazing moments...My husband and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary, Brayden turned two, I felt my little man kicking in my tummy and on June 15th I gave birth Ethan. But since that date life changed and I changed. Its been scary, its been hard, its been emotionally draining to sum it up its been a roller coaster!

Even though I was excited that's its over, I am actually really thankful for what it taught me. 2010 was the year in my life that changed me. I am no where near the woman I was on June 14th. I appreciate more, I savor every moment with my family, I am stronger, I have learned that if I truly believe in something to fight for it and the list goes on. But there is one thing that I regret not doing...Smiling more.

With that said, I have to say that I have a real good feeling about 2011. No, Ethan isn't home to start off the New Year with us but I know he will be soon :) He spent the first day of the year with his big brother and seeing them together has made me feel so positive about this year. There is no one that can make Ethan happier then his big brother. It made a day that should have been kind of sad actually really wonderful. We laughed and we smiled and we enjoyed being a family of four. Alot of people I know and some of the blogs I follow are starting this thing to take a picture a day for 365 days. I think I am going to do that too. Or at least try too :) I want to remember everything about this year, whether were in the hospital or not. That will be one of my resolutions!

So here is a list of my resolutions...hoping to keep them all this year!
