One year
Man, so much can happen in a year! Last year at this time, I began saving for a house. Now I'm in debt because of it, but I have it!! I didn't have doggies, now I have 2. There wasn't a baby Blaes #2, and now there is. Lots of changes.
I am so very grateful for my house and my job and the people in my life. I am thankful for my health and the health of my Jayce Lois. Whatever 2012 brings, I hope it doesn't change those things.
As for what changes I want to initiate, I would like to pay down the debt I've accrued through hitting the deer, Christmas presents, and items for the house. I would also like to get back into the working out habit...I've reeeeally slacked and I feel disgusting! I'm hopefully getting my treadmill back this week and then I will have NO excuse.
That's it really- work out and pay down the debt. I don't have any specifics, just reaching toward those two things.
Hard to believe that another year has passed. This year I will turn 30 and as scary as that is, it doesn't scare me as much as the fact that Jayce will turn 10. What the heck???? 10. Yikes.
This year Jayce will enter the last year of elementary school. Nooo!
This year I am comtemplating going back to school. I have an opportunity with some other counselors in my district to do it together. However, it is a huge commitment, adds more debt, and I'm scared. I'm scared that I won't be able to do it along with taking care of the house and working full time. I'm also scared that it is a several year undertaking- and a part of me wishes instead that I begin working on an adoption process. I don't know how much money it takes- but I know it is a lot. I feel like if that is a path I want to go down, I need to start on it soon. There are interviews and home visits and you often are on the list for years. Why not go ahead and get my name on the list? Ugggg lots to think about this year!
