GOODBYE 2008.....

Looking back at this last year.... A lot of it is a blur.... but here are a few things that stand out to me.

Jaeda's 1st Birthday & Jazmin's 3rd Birthday
Our first trip to Disneyland (except for when I was 6)
Lots of trips to the Wild Animal Park
Learning how to run a business
Be a Mom of two
Support Corey through school 
Cruise to Cabo San Lucas
3 Trips to Utah 
Celebrating 7 years of Marriage
Teaching Mia-maids at my church 
Making one of the biggest decisions I have ever had to make
Becoming a single Mom
Having the most amazing support system through family and friends
Learning that there will always be HARD times .... BUT it is what we do with them that makes us who we are. Weather we take them as an opportunity to become stronger or let them destroy us. I know that God would never give us something we couldn't handle.... sometimes I wish I couldn't handle SO much. I have really learned a lot about myself and hope that someday.... even though I choose divorce my girls will see "strength and not weakness". Anyways, Happy NEW Year to everyone. Thank you to all my amazing family and friends. I would have been lost without all the love and support. 

On a side note. I am SO looking forward to this coming year :)

2008 will wind up being the BEST year of your life because you made the decision that you are worth having a great life. I love you and continue to be SO proud of you:)

It certainly was a crazy year for you, but I have to agree with Jen also and say that I am proud of you for deciding that you had finally done enough and weren't getting enough back in return. I feel like I should have been there for you more just to talk, but I haven't wanted to overstep your comfort level. Just know that I am always here for you.

Well, as most of my close friends know.... they know I don't talk much about emotional stuff. I knew you would be there if I needed to talk and you were there many different times.... that you may not even realize. Thanks for being there..... miss you ;)
