Goodbye 2011!!

I'm so glad to wave goodbye to year 2011. It was one crazy year for me. And that was the understatement of the century! I can honestly say that 2012 can only get better. I always make resolutions and I either forget about them or I never follow through.. So this year I made myself a 2012 Bucket List. If I do all the things on the list then thats awesome. If I don't then that is ok. I won't beat myself up about them. But just to reflect on 2011 here is a little list that is kinda like a timeline of my year...

2011

Finally got to go get Ellie and bring her home.

Saying goodbye to Richard who left for Italy in March. 

Turned 21 years old.

Packing to past time until I get to go to Italy.

August I said sad goodbyes to friends and family & finally leave and reunite with Richard after 6 months.

Get pregnant.

Have miscarriage.

Have one year anniversary with my husband.

Have our 2nd Christmas as a married couple.

Ring in the New Year.

It was indeed the hardest year of my life. It was also a year that I turned to God for everything. He held my hand thru it all. Leaving my family and moving to a whole new country. Having seen my baby and a strong heartbeat on an ultra sound and a few days later having a miscarriage. God has really helped me and I know He will continue to be with me and guiding me. I have full faith in Him and His will for my life. :) I thank Him so much for everything. He has made me a very very strong person and has made my marriage a very very strong one. 

So now here are a few things on my 2012 Bucket List

Tell more people about Jesus.

Do more crafts.

Re-learn how to sew.

Make my bed everyday. (which I have already failed to do) 

Write in my Journal everyday.

Take more pictures.

Keep my blog up to date. 

Survive deployment.

Those are just a few of what I want to accomplish.  :) 

XO,

Meg
