Ending a year....

As I've mentioned before, 2010 has been an extremely hard year for us.  My brother accused of criminal theft, a house fire, learning who my true friends are, going through money like crazy and a family fight.  I can't say I'm sad to see 2010 go.  A couple things I've learned this year....

• Be thankful everyday to have our home and bed to sleep in.
• Be thankful we and our puppy our safe.
• A dog can bring you just as much happiness as a child.
• My fella will stick by my side and my family's side through think and thin.
• Always believe the best in people.  It's not worth the time to think of reason's not too.  Everyone gets a fair chance.
• No one that mess's with my loved ones deserves a second chance.
• Gossiping about other's is extremely boring.
• Spending time with my immediate family is the most important and fun thing to me.
• Tell those you love that you love them every single chance you get.

2011 is going to be huge for me.  I get my first girls trip since being with my love, to Florida in January.  I will be our branch's assistant race chair for the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure, which is sending me to Dallas in February for training.  I marry the love of my life in June, and we immediately leave for our honeymoon in Antigua after.  I am not coming back to work after the wedding.  I'll be working hard to get my personal fitness certification.  So many exciting things to come!  My hopes and dreams for the next year:

• Treat my man better and better each day.  Show him he is the world to me.
• Have a wedding that is elegant but more fun than anything - without going broke.
• Find something special to do with just my immediate family.
• Let things go.  Just smile and walk away.
• Work out 3-5 times a week while keeping a healthy diet.  Taste the sugary, salty, fatty foods -  don't eat!

Here's to hoping all the random readers out there have a safe new year.  May the sadness, frustrations and issues stay in 2010 with 2011 bringing you wealthy, fun, laughter and happiness.
