Goodbye 2010

Its been fun. Thanks for all the adventures you've seen me through. It has gotten me here- to the last day of the year.

Let's look back on the year of 2010 in the Wood house. I found out I was pregnant 10 days in (1/10/10). I surprised my husband with baby news via 5 positive pregnancy tests and a baby onesie saying "Daddy Loves Me." We celebrated being pregnant- a lot. My husband decided to join the Air Force. My husband committed to it and lost 80+ pounds. I gained 25. We survived pregnancy hormones- and I use the word survived quite literally. We laughed our asses off and cried our eyes out. We welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world. I quit work. My husband left for the Air Force. And we celebrated baby's first Thanksgiving, Christmas, new years, and snow all without him.

What a year! 2010's been fun, but I'd say we are ready for 2011. So, let's bring it on! This little family is tired of being apart.

Before I say farewell to this special year that will always hold a very special place in my heart, I want to share this. 2010 turned my life completely around. 2009 was not a good year for my husband and me. I prayed for something huge to happen and save us. Well, 10 days into the new year, it did. 2010 quickly became the best year of our lives. What more could I ask for? I have an amazing husband that is nothing short of a hero. I have a one-of-a-kind beautiful daughter that lights up my life more each day. I have a strong and supportive family that I wouldn't change for all the money in the world. And I have friends that are truer than gold. Yeah, 2010, we had a good run. 2011 has a lot to live up to. I have faith it will. My New Year's resolutions are this. One, I will consciously be more grateful for blessings in my life and thank God for them every day. Two, I will simplify my life. Organize what I have and weed out what I don't need. And third, I will create a stable home for my daughter. No  matter where the military takes us and no matter for how long we are there, wherever we are, my daughter will feel safe and loved and know that wherever we are together, that is home. Aaaand I'll throw in a fourth, I will get in shape. There. Now its in writing.

Happy New Years Everyone!!

I'll be curling up in my bed now to sleep through the new year. I'm taking a break from celebrating anymore holidays without the Giant. See you on the flip side. And Babe, I'll see you in my dreams for our New Year's kiss.
