new year - new start
hello my sweet friends. i have missed you so much over the last several months. i completely fell apart for journaling after my life started caving in around me...but since this is something i've consistantly missed doing, i've decided to start it up again...
every time i see dark chocolate mm's i think of you kellie.
when i think about my miscarriage, i think of rachel - and how she was going through everything when i was.
when i think about fantasy fiction, colorado, and a true kindred spirit, i think of charity.
worship reminds me of melody.
politics and military things remind me of sarah.
any time i think about strength embodied, i think of lara.
friends is a great reminder for serena.
and i could go on about all of you for pages...but know that you're all dearly loved, were missed muchly, and i can't wait to start catching up again - so much has changed.
basically, 2007 was the worst year of my life. between marriage issues with craig, work, a fall, three traumatic deaths, a falling out with friends, loss of job, 3 weeks of being sick, having to be tested for std's, the baby (hannah-lara), leaving the church, and the loss of some very beloved pets, things were rough. BUT, 2008 is going to be great. everything is on the upswing - i'm in the process of finding a new church home - which will be fun - my blood-sister and i are getting along the best we have in 10+ years, my sisters-in-law and i continue to get closer - craig and i hit our 1 year mark, and in our 2nd year, we're really enjoying each other. i'm set up for a promotion before the end of the month, i've figured out what i want to do career-wise (event planning), and i'm genuinely happy with who and where i am. i'm finally able to run again (since the accident, i wasn't able to), and i am really loving the wife-role, of working a decent job, coming home, making dinner, and spending time with my sweet husband.
we went to colorado for thanksgiving. that was really nice.
i'm no longer at the pottery studio - and that's a great thing since all i can think about when i remember that job is sweeping and mopping that whole thing every night...
i'm at a job where i'm making friends. i'm less high-strung, and more even-keeled. i feel like this is the year that great things are going to happen. craig and i are on a debt-free track, though it's taking some time, and we're hoping to start a family by the end of the year (trying, anyway).
the last couple months have been fairly consistant - i've been sick, and trying to work. lol but it's the new year, and praise the Lord!, it's going to be a great one! He is ever faithful, even in our times of trying and doubt.
i love all of you so much, and i'm excited to get caught back up, and get reaquainted with all my friends.
in Him i stand
