Here's to a New Year!

So, now I sit. I am sitting because I just got home, gave Greyson a bath, and Nate is buying his tickets. The house is quiet because my sweet little boy who I rocked to sleep is off in dreamland. The house seems bare because the past two days we have taken down the decorations from the blessed Christmas season. This morning was spent taking down the Christmas tree and we had one very sad toddler. He kept saying - "want Christmas tree mama!" I just had to keep telling him that we would have another one next year but that now it was time to say goodbye. And just as it is time to say goodbye to another Christmas season, it is time to say goodbye to 2010 and welcome 2011 and all that it has to offer.

So, now I am trying to recap the year in my head with good thoughts and all that I have, while the house is in this nice quiet state. Is my life perfect? No it is not. Are there things that I wish I could change? Yes there are. I am trying to come up with my "goals" for 2011 and I think for now I will keep them to myself. But, as I try to think of my good thoughts from 2010 I can't help but think of my family and all that God has blessed me with. I have a job, I have a home, I have a husband, and I have a beautiful little boy that I can't get enough of. That should sum it up right about there. We have been faced with hardships-yes -and do we struggle from time to time with different things - yes.....but when it all comes down to it I have all those things and for now because of that, life is good. It's the good that keeps you going and it's all the goodness to come that keeps you faithful and fighting.

So as I look ahead I can't help but be thankful for my son and to be pregnant again and have the opportunity to be blessed with another sweet tiny miracle growing inside me. It truly is the best feeling. So I hope for a healthy baby in 2011 and a healthy/happy family as well. Because afterall, they are the "good" that keep me going. Greyson and Baby Ernat are our two tiny miracles that make life all the better for us. They continue to show us what life truly is about and I in turn will keep on learning, because I know I still have A LOT of that to do. I truly don't know ALL of who I am yet - I mean honestly maybe my 30th year will teach me that-hah! or maybe not but the important thing is that I have the "good" in my life to keep me going and keep me learning as a person, as a wife, and as a mother. So, I am keeping the faith in 2011 and the hope and ALL that GOOD I have inside me.

I wish all of you a Happy and Healthy New Year!
Cheers to all my readers as well. Thanks for checking in on us from time to time.

Once again, I wish all of you the "good" stuff in 2011!
