2012

This time last year I started to write about 2011 and how wonderful 2011 was to me. and how I couldnt wait to see what 2012 had in store for me. I enjoyed 2012 so much that I dont want it to end. Now I can only imagine what God has planned for me in 2013.

I started off 2012 hating my job. I hated getting up every morning and going to work. I hated the thought of going to work. I would cry on my way home from work. I would cry and ask God why am I here, I cant go on any longer. then I would feel His arm around me saying just a little bit longer just a little bit longer. Then one day I recieved a call that would change my life forever. I was offered a job at the Eel Ground Health Centre. I was offered a job as the Maternal Child Health Worker. Do you know that means?? I work with babies all day!! I am a support system for new moms and babies. I look forward to going to work everyday. I love what I do. I feel like that all the years I have gone to school have finally been put into place. I love it!! I know that God has designed this job just for me! I work with an amazing group of girls.

Then we started renovating... I gutted my living room.. ok I didnt. Jonathan did. I am sitting in my new living room and I enjoy it. I cant believe how much it has changed. I couldnt wait to start decorating for Christmas. Not only did I get a new living room I got a front step and a plug-in in the bathroom. I am a simple person... thats all I need lol.

Then July came. It was a wonderful July 1st. I got engaged. Jonathan asked me to be his wife. He gave me the most beautiful ring. It was my great grandmothers ring. Its soo stunning and I look at it everyday. I am so excited and have started planning my... our special day.

Fall came and we were busier then ever. I had weddings in full swing.. then I have 2 little boys that started hockey and well 2 boys 2 different teams... that should sum up my life as of right now.

This year I have been tested beyond measure. But my God has been so good to me. I have crawled to hell and I have met the Devil face to face. more times this year. But I have always come back and it made me better and stronger. trust me you can only imagine. But as much as these experiences have tested and pulled me they have taught me so much. They have taught me that its ok to tell people how you feel about things, dont let other run your life, and to not be afraid. Things may not always be easy but not everyone needs to know my business. I just put a smile on my face and look at the glass as half full rather than half empty.

I have made being a step mom cool! well i didnt make it cool. But its my goal to bring more awareness to people that there are step moms out there and they work really hard. I love my step children more than anything. I love being their step mother. I am a step hockey mom!! and its cool!!

As I look to 2013 I know that I have challenges to face. But I know that just like every other trial and tribulation I will make it through with my wonderful family and friends and fiance by my side. I am Blessed beyond measure.

So what does 2013 hold for me. I am going to love more, cherish things more. I am going to enjoy this special time in my life as I prepare for our wedding. I am going to look at things more postitively. I am going to try and not let things bother me.

So welcome 2013... I can't wait to see what you have in store.
