I meant to do this post last night, since it would be my last post of 2013 but I had no time. Fred was working on the computer and then Asher had to go to bed (computer is in Asher's room).
The kids were driving me nuts so there was no way I was letting them stay up. I'm a grouch. Sorry. Anyway, Fred and I watched the Ryan Seacrest NYE show and read books. This makes us sound so old. haha! Then Fred got tired of that and went into our room to watch 'The Office'. I tease him that that show is his lullaby. He falls asleep every time he puts it on.
It is our favorite show of all time but I end up re-watching the same episode 3x because Fred falls asleep and he wants to watch it again. He passed out at 10:30pm. I stayed up until about 11:30 and was just too tired so I just went to bed. That was New Years Eve.
So far, on New Years Day, we've watched the Rose Parade, ate breakfast, watched TV and read books. Basically, we've been lying around doing nothing. I'm good with that.
I do have goals for 2014. (Woah, I can't believe it's 2014.) I'm not going to overdo anything and go cold turkey because I want these goals to stick. I have big hopes and dreams for this new year. I want to make big strides in our home buying adventure, focus on my physical appearance and get fit, and read the Book of Mormon, along with many other books. I have more goals but they are more personal.
With the new year, I've been thinking about the past 3 years. Here's how it went down.
2011- Best year ever. We moved from ghetto Lancaster to South Orange County, something I thought we'd never do. We had Asher which was so exciting. Made things even more busy and crazy but we were thrilled. We got Disneyland passes which was awesome and made the year SO fun! Overall, it was a awesome year.
2012- Worst year of my life and it is all such a blur. I found out some very shocking news that literally turned my whole world upside down and I've been trying to deal with it since. It was a year full of tears, many prayers, loneliness and heartache and one I would never want to relive again. I'm sure years down the road I will be thankful because it has made me stronger but for now it was and still is the worst year ever.
2013- It was focused on accepting what would now be my new normal. Accepting things that are out of my control and learning to love and forgive. I really tried to focus on my relationship with the Lord and come to see people how he sees them. I did make progress but I still have a long way to go. Some things got better and wounds were healed, slowly. Overall, way better than 2012.
Whatever this year brings, I will try my best to make it a great year. I am thankful for so many blessings and can't believe the years are going so fast. That is why I blog, take tons of pictures and try to capture as much as I can. I have already forgotten so much! Here is to a great 2014 and just trying to be better with each new day.
