2012

I can't believe we are nearing another ending to another year. ::rolls eyes:: How cliche that sounds.

A lot has changed since this time last year. As in, I am no longer jobless. haha. I have an excellent job that I love, and most importantly, I really love my fellow (night shift) co workers. I really got lucky with this job.

The girls are a year older and they have both grown so much. Madalyn is actually talking now. In a language that (most) people can understand! Gracelyn has learned to tie her shoes. finally. I gave her the deadline of her 6th birthday. She learned the day before she turned 6. She is also reading. Slowly, but surely, she is getting a grasp on it.

We still have the same daycare provider. Who is excellent. She is closing in the fall. My girls (and myself) will be heartbroken. I am thinking a private school is the way we are going to go. This homeschooling thing is hard, and I really don't want to go about finding a new daycare, if I kept homeschooling.

Reagan now has her permit. That is a scary thought. Jon is still a part of our family, as her boyfriend. Karina was in remission from her UC this Christmas. Grandma June is still apart of our family, and doing well. My parents are my best friends. as always.

I still love Toni. We are going out to see all our AZ family this March. We'll see how Toni and I get along out there. bahaha. Since, we tend to piss each other off when we spend physical time together. Laurie was always commenting on how much alike we are.

I'm still married.

Whiskers is still a nutjob that likes to play fetch and steal things.

Obama is still president. I still dislike him. Possibly, even more than originally.

Rolo is gone. We put her down in January. It's weird without her. This time last year she was injured, but still always tried to run and play in the snow. That crazy dog loved the snow, and playing with the girls. Madalyn was her buddy.

Other than that, not much has changed. So, really, I take back my beginning statement. Not much has changed. at all. What a boring year. We went to camp. Like always. We ordered delivery to much. like always. We spent a lot of time with my parents. like always. However, we didn't have as many bbq's this year, because I'm actually working now. Spent all summer outside with the girls. like always. I drink coffee by the gallon. Like always.

I can't complain that my life is boring. All of these "as always" things, are things we love and want to continue. Camping. Food. Spending time with family. Food and Family and Friends combined. Spending time outdoors in the nice weather with my girls. Everyone is healthy. My girls are beautiful and smart. I am close with my family. I have a good job with people I like. I have great friends. I have nothing to complain about. I love my life and the people in it. I am very fortunate.
