It's over!

Sorry its been a while. My family has been going through yet another transition! As if moving a having a baby weren't enough...JR started a new job the Tuesday before Christmas. We are very excited about the change (I seriously hated his boss at his old company)! He is now a little further away from his office, so I wish that we would have known all of this would happen 3 months ago so we could have found a house on the west side of town! Ha. Oh well, maybe that will be next year, LOL! JR doesnt get paid until Jan. 15 - so we are going an entire month without a paycheck....YIKES! We are making it work and that leads me to my next section...
My 2010 resolution is to STRESS LESS! I even started a couple weeks early...although this transition has been a little difficult as far as our finances, I think I have handled it pretty well. No yelling no screaming. I have made a decision that I do not want my kids growing up in a house where their parents are constantly fighting about money, it isn't fair to them.
2009 brought me so many blessings...I tried to think of something of significance each month brought me and this is what I came up with...
Jan. - Bought our tickets to VEGAS
Feb. - Time with family - my cousin got married- I found out I was pregnant
March - I got married and Logan turned 2
April - Started looking for places to live
May - Went to Astros games - Mothers Day - JR turned 26
June - I turned 26 - My grandfather went in to the hospital
July - My grandfather passed away
August - another hard month of mourning and preparing to move and finished my community service.
September - We moved to Spring
October - I had a beautiful, healthy baby girl
November- Thanksgiving - time with family
December - Spent massive amounts of time with family, met a new friend, JR started working for a new company!

Like any other year 2009 brought many blessings and heartache, I feel lucky though because I had more blessings than heartache. Although my grandfather passed away, I know he lives with me everyday...I still think of him all the time....I still cant say "I am going to Nanny's house" it always comes out, "I am going to Nanny and Papa's house" I dont think it will ever change. I still worry about my grandmother, but I know that it will all be okay.

2010 will be an amazing year - IN just 2 weeks my mom and grandmother will celebrate there 47th and 75th birthdays! We are buying a new living room set...couch, loveseat, chair and ottoman...so pretty brown leather! Cant wait! THinking about having a superbowl party in Feb. to show off our new couches! My little sister will turn 21 at the end of Feb. I am hoping to go on a Casino trip for Valentine's Day. March will be our 1st wedding anniversary and our son will turn 3, which I still can't believe! April 11, I will officially be OFF probation! Thank You! Cant wait to teach my children that the stupid, silly things that you do when you are 18 can still be affecting you nearly 10 years later! May will be another Mothers Day and birthday for JR (27-we are getting old). June will be another Fathers day and birthday for me (27). ... I cant really look to far ahead so I will stop here....but 2010 will be wonderful.

I hope everyone had a wonderful new year celebration, I wish for all your blessings to outweigh your heartache, for we all know it is impossible to live without both!

Happy New Year!

That was a very positive blog, so I think your Less Stress thing is working out for you!! I'm so glad JR got to start that job right away. What a scare! Our family rush is almost over. My mom will probably be here a few more weeks, and then that's it for now!

The holidays can be crazy! I would really like to plan a trip to come see you guys..I can't believe it has been 2 months since I have seen Aiden. Maybe after your mom leaves and you guys get back in your normal rythym we can get together! I miss you guys! I was thinking about how we used to play cards on Sunday nights...it made me laugh! Aiden is getting so big...he is such a cute baby! I can't wait to get together again!
