What a way to say good-bye to 2011 but to spend it at the farm. We rode the four wheeler, the tractor, watched the cows and enjoyed the peace, quiet and the beauty. When I think back at 2011 it was a learning year. I feel as if I have grown up a lot this year personally and in my marriage. I took on a huge responsibility homeschooling my children but a rewarding one. I have grown closer to some friends and further away from others. I have realized life is short. Family is the most important. God loves and forgives. Parents grow old. I am growing old. I need to laugh more and stress less. I have felt true heart break but I have also felt true joy. I accomplished a huge goal skiing my first black diamond. 2012 will be another exciting year with lots of surprises and I am sure disappointments. I pray no more loss. 2 years in a row is all I can take for now. I hope I can slow down, my kids are growing up so fast and one day they will be grown and I don't want to regret not being in the moment with them.
Happy 2012.
more family, more fun, more love.....
