2012....ready or not.....

I know we always say this....but it seems like this year has flown. It feels like I just got married yesterday, shoot sometimes I have to remind myself that I graduated high school over 5 years ago....crazy. This has been a pretty good year for us. We can't really complain much. Eric started his career as a teacher, his photography business had a great wedding season, we bought a house, got a dog and.....thats about it. We have been blessed.
  Just a few things I have learned this year

• just when you think you know what you are doing.....stop....cause something is going to come along to prove that you do not always know what to do.
• just when you think you know everything....something will surly come and smack you in the face and remind you that you that knowing everything is impossible. 
• assess, assess, assess....then assess some more. 
• Death is a part of life...it will meet us all one day. Sometimes there is nothing you can do about it, no matter how much you try.
• buying a house is expensive....enough said. 
• psych patients exists in every part of health care.
• not everyone is meant to be friends and some people never change
• always check your Facebook status before posting and ask a)is everything spelled right b)is this appropriate b)is this going to start some crap and cause an up roar. 
• I like working out...its just a matter of getting me out of bed in the morning
• when in doubt put gloves on =)
• giving Eric credit for the things he does around the house makes him want to do them more....and makes him happy. 

Some things I hope to do this year

• save more money
• save for my life long dream trip to Europe
• Go to Disney 
• drink less soda
• give more complements
• speak less, listen more
• complain less
• tithe 
• go to the gym 3 times a week. 

Hope everyone has a safe New Year, If you drink, don't drive. Please.
