New Year's Eve 2012

Today I am playing catch up on the blog.  Today feels like the first day I have had off since being sick that I didn't have a to do list a mile long.  I came home from work and the kids let me sleep a couple of hours.  They are enjoying their break from school.  They have been listening to music, watching TV, playing with their toys, dancing & playing nicely together.  Morgan has a project for school we have to work on later this afternoon.

Here is the list of post I am catching up on today.  (Some of these post are just pictures)

I still have to catch up on all the Christmas celebrations, but hopefully I can do that later tonight or tomorrow.


I very seldom make New Year's Resolutions because usually they don't last long anyways.  I am looking forward to several things in 2013 though.  Here is a short list....

*Warmer weather so I can start running again.  I don't like running when it is cold because I FREEZE to death, plus my smokers lungs don't breathe well when its cold.

*Getting back into the hospital setting.  I miss working at the hospital more then I imagined I would.  I have started putting applications in, but I have some places/things in mind I want to strive for.  I can't wait to see where I will go in my career this year.  I love being a nurse & helping people on a daily basis.  I am just ready to get back into the hospital.

*Celebrating our 1 year anniversary.

*Family Vacation or vacations.  We are still talking about our plans for the year.  We have two different ideas, but haven't officially decided yet.  We have talked a lot about taking the kids to Disney & the ocean for a week.  I have always wanted to take the kids, but I wanted them to be old enough to enjoy themselves & remember it.  We may wait another year or two until they are all a little older so we can enjoy it more....but we aren't 100% sure.  If we decide not to go to Disney this year we are going to let each kid pick a place they want to go for the weekend & do 5 short weekend trips.  The kids have already started making a list.

*Going back to school.  I want to get my Bachelor's degree soon so eventually I can go back to become a Nurse Practitioner.  This has always been a dream of mine & someday I will make it come true.  I was only planning on taking a year off from school before going back, but decided to wait a little longer until the time was right for our family.

*Hopefully keep up with my blog better.  I did better in 2012 then I did any other year, but I want to keep up better...and not have to do so many catch up entries.

2012 was a good year for our family....hoping 2013 is even better.  I am looking forward to making lots of memories.
