New Year, New Beginnings

This is my first blog. It's the beginning of the year so I want to start out fresh. There's a lot of things that I want to change about my life. For those of you who are reading let me fill you in on what happened this last year. Jan '07 my son turned one. He grew up so fast, I can hardly remember these last years. Good thing I got it on camera. And now he's turning two :( My husband had a pretty steady job so we decided to try for another son/daughter we figured that would put a good age distance between him/her and Kainen, our son. It took us four months to get pregnant but we did and soon found out that we were having twin boys due in November. What a joy that would be, 3 boys, 3 little football players. Although, I was freaked out knowing that soon after having them my hubby would have to go back to work and I'd be left alone with a two year old and two newborns. I guess that would freak anyone out. Unfortunately, we lossed our twin boys in June, the hardest thing I've ever gone through but one of the most amazing experiences I've gone through. We got to meet our boys right before they went to heaven which was a blessing all in it's own. It's an experience that couldn't be described. Thankfully we have a lot of people that love us, who helped us stay strong and work towards getting through it. After I got out of the hospital I got an allergic reaction to some medication I was on which lasted a week which was the same week that I was packing to move that next weekend. (Thanks everyone for helping). Shortly after that my husband lost his job. I had a few distractions. Camping in July and August. A trip to Florida to see my childhood friend that I haven't seen in 7ish years. Girls weekend in Oregon with my sisters. That was all good but I guess you could say this last summer wasn't the best. But now we are getting back on our feet. My husband has a pretty reliable job. I have a part-time job which won't last long ;) I like being a stay at home mom. And now we officially decided to start trying again!

So that was my year, now I want to start out fresh. Better my relationship with my husband. Better my relationship with myself. Better daily habits, etc....the typical ones I don't need to mention. The main thing is that I want to be happy. (period)

So that's my first entry. Don't worry they won't be all this long :) Hope you all had good holidays!
