Well another year has come and quickly gone and I sit here wondering where the time has gone. As I spend another new years eve working all night, I sit here pondering on the year that has passed. I have come up with several observations over the passed year:
1. How fast the year has gone by. The other night I sat up watching home videos of Adriana when she was a baby and they all seemed like they happend yesterday. I actually started to tear up thinking how fast the past five years have gone. So my goal for this next year is to enjoy every minute I have with my kids being young!!! So if it means spending those days at the park instead of cleaning like I should, going to the zoo for the fifth time this month because the kids are so excited to see the animals again, going to the fourth pumpkin patch in two weeks because each one is different, and seeing Santa for the sixth time before Christmas because "I forgot to tell him something mom" I will! I'm realizing how quickly the time is going and before I know it they will know about Santa and the pumpkin patch will no longer be fun. I want to cherish every minute of their life that I can! It all goes by so fast!
2. How lucky I am to be married to such an amazing husband! I know how difficult I am to live with but he still manages and with little complaints. I often take out a lot of my frustrations on him and he listens to me melting down and instead of steaming up himself he just puts his arms around me and tells me its alright! I often complain about the little things he asks me to do, but very seldom will he ever complain to me. He makes sure I am his number one priority in life which I don't always return like I should. He is the most caring and loving man I have ever met and I am so blessed to be married to him! I want to work on returning all the love to him that his has given me over the past several years!!!
3.Becoming a healthy family. I know my kids will probably never have to deal with weight issues as they grow to fast to gain much weight, but I do want them to be healthy. I know Chris and I really need to work on eating better and doing more exercise and I want the kids to grow up in a family like that. I don't worry so much about how much I weigh or measurements as much as I do with how good I feel. I know I will have so much more energy and healthier all around when I don't eat so much junk and I really want to accomplish that this year for me and my family!!!
-So in a nutshell this is as best as I can get for new years resolutions. I know I am very blessed for everything I have and I don't want to take advantage of it anymore! My family is my life and I want to cherish it as much as I can! So although I didn't do anything exciting for new years or have any flashy photos of anything because of another year worked, I do have my resolutions to remind me of the year thats passed. I hope everyone had a fun and safe new years and I look forward to what 2009 will bring us, just not too fast!!!!
