I am sitting here just thrilled first of all because after a week of no internet or cable (10 days actually) I can finally update about the past 2 weeks. We finished the house, moved in, spent our 1st Christmas here, had a dinner here, is having another on the 1st and couldn't have enjoyed it more. This Christmas was probably the best I have had in a LONG time! It was wonderful other than being stressed about keeping a neat and tidy house because of the move and such, but we got snow! 5 inches or so! It was beautiful. I haven't ever had a white Christmas and what do ya know it came this year! Yippee! AJ loved it of course! As December comes to a close I am reminded that I am to have a new years resolution which also reminds me I failed to keep the one I made last year (lose 10-15lbs). Blah! And what do u think I still want to achieve? To be healthy and back to a smaller size. I'm not so much worried about my weight its how my clothes fit and how I feel that matters. Weight is just a number but as long as I am healthy I will be satisfied. But there's more that im tacking onto my list. I want to achieve goals that I used to think were too high. I read something somewhere that we are our reason for stopping something from happening or reaching a goal we thought impossible to complete. We must have faith that we can do something. Like I need to have faith in myself to stop drinking cokes and to eat healthy. If i tell myself I cant do it, how helpful is that? We can have all the support in the world and fail at it if our minds/hearts are not into it. So I am wanting to have a new look on things. I will uplift myself and try to keep a positive outlook on certain things that im not so sure about. Im nervous about going back to college but if i have faith in my abilities and feel confident that I can get my degree in something then by-golly I should. This is just a theory Ill let u know how it all comes out when I get to the other side. :P
I want to start writing again.
I love poetry and I used to write at least 2 a day when i was in highschool. Some might not of been worth reading but at least i did it. I have prob wrote maybe 8 or 10 all year. wow. sad. I need to find my inspiration again and get back into my hobby's. Being a mom, wife, and other things really distract you from the things you once did and had as "free time" I rarely get that anymore. But I can see 2011 coming and I am trying to visualize what it will be like and I have no clue what to expect. I am thankful that we have a place to call our own when so many do not. God has been good to us in 2010. And I just pray that I can do something to glorify Him in ways I didnt think possible for years to come! Happy New year!

Girl, as far as college is concerned, YOU CAN DO IT!! I went from being a full-time mother of two who never left home, to a full-time mother of two, full-time student and part-time employee. It will be hectic and you will want to cry and pull your hair out, but you CAN DO IT!! It took me to the ripe old age of 33 but I finally did it! and now I am getting the paycheck to prove it!! (I'm still poor mind you) Call me! I will kick you in the booty til you finish cause you are way too young not to follow through on your dreams. I know you can do it cause if I can do it, Anyone can do it!!
Love you,
Amanda
Brittany, don't put off school any longer. Do it now. The more you thinking about it the less likely you'll do it. I basically had to just, well do it. I went from saying I want to go, to walking through the doors and not going home until I finished all the admission paper.
If it's something you really want to do, don't think about it anymore just do it. The longer you put it off the older you'll be and the most likely you are to not go back.
Use my situation as an example, I was out of school for 3 years, had moved out to GA, had a job I absolutely hated, got pregnant, and finally moved back home. Because of it I decided to go back in 2007 before I was too old or had more children.
Now that you only have one child it's easier to go back. You're a smart girl, you can do whatever you set your mind to do. You are officially getting both a push from the person above (MandaRhea) and me. :)
