Crazy 2011 to Hopeful 2012

Our family has been looking forward to bringing in 2012 for so many reasons. 2011 was crazy, painful, and an exhausting year.

It began by finding out early on in 2011 that I had Arnold Chiari Malformation, On Feb 16th 2011...I underwent decompression(brain and neck surgery) to which I ended up fighting for control of my body(this literally was the most horrifying, painful, scariest thing I have ever experienced in my life which has continued to be not only the most rewarding decision I have made but a very painful one as well.

Then, my husband Tyler got a new job and worked for literally weeks before getting laid off and then started working again only to get laid off weeks later...this has been going on most of 2011 we are hoping 2012 will be more consistent!

On August 5th, 2011 we lost our baby at 14 weeks gestation...on the day we were supposed to be rejoicing we were grieving the lose of our miracle baby. God has continued to be with us throughout all of our ups and downs and stressful situations without him we would be lost! To end the year out we sold our house and moved into a rental to get away from the old and in with the new! HERE'S to a hopeful 2012!!


Beginning a blog is sort of a way of sticking to my guns and doing all that I want to change to make life easier for 2012.

2012 is the year I start weekly meal planning for my family (instead of monthly)!! 2012 is also a year for many other things I plan to post on facebook once my crafty butt gets to it!
