2007 Year in review
Current mood:
hopeful
:)
JANUARY: How did you ring in 2007? Details! Where, who, kiss, etc???
I think I was in church, think I stepped with the girls prolly for the last time. Pretty sure I was alone, because jes decided he wanted to go out with his boys I was pretty upset.
FEBRUARY: Were you in a relationship for Valentine's Day and what'd you do?
Yeah, jes was in bootcamp. We got into an arguement. Something over a txt msg and crap. But we've forgotten about that
MARCH: Did you celebrate St. Patty's Day by getting drunk?
um I think I was studying
APRIL: Did you have to walk in the rain (or any month in 07)?
Yep, to class. My baby came home, finally finished bootcamp. Got engaged. 4/20/07
MAY: Did you fail any classes?
nope. no time for that!
JUNE: Did you buy a new swimsuit?
Yes a couple of new ones. that is my new form of exercise, swimming, plus there are some hot ones out for momma's where you can look sexy and not 15
JULY: Did you party on 4th of July?
I believe I worked. Just secured my job in the ED! SOO fun! LOVE IT!

Nah, my baby came down to see me.

umm worked... I see a theme here.
DECEMBER: What do you want/what did you get for Christmas?

Personal Reflection
Did you reach your goals for 2007?
I started praying again! YEAH! I passed my classes! YESS! I got a job! YESS! I sustained my relationship with jes!! YESS!
Beside your set goals, what else did you accomplish?
calming down. I think a lot is to be said about the fact that I slowly but surely stopped freaking out about things that didn't go my way. Although deep down inside I am still crying, I at least have made it to the point where I don't show it on the outside, and I'm trying to get to the point with God where I an truly trust him with everything and even when it seems that all that I have is being demolished and ripped apart in the most depressing way, I can believe that it's the end product that matters, not how I think it should be, but rather how things need to conclude. I may think it's important for Jayden to be with me, but God may have other plans, and I have to realize that I can't get in the way of his plans. Whatever he needs to do I need to be ok with that. I don't know everything, so I need to just trust him, no matter how painful it is.
What is something you learned about yourself?
I feel I have to be right. Intelligence and being right does not always mean you will win. I trusted in God because I thought he would get me what I wanted. I can loose 10 pounds! I'm not that bad of a mother. Nothing will ever be perfect, but if you work on it, it will really feel like it. I really love Jes. I really love nursing. I don't think I will ever truly seperate from God. I love him more than anything including myself. So even if my wants get in the way, eventually, by the grace of God, I will come back.
Did you do anything you thought you'd never do?
This year? Get married. Get engaged. Start praying again. Pass classes. Forgive.
