2014

Monday, December 30, 2013

2013 will always be such a great time for me to look back on. Michael & spent a year in love and happy. We both left the comfort of family and friends to go out on our own. It has truly been a blessing to our marriage. We had to learn to only lean on each other, and to learn very quickly how independent we were not. I remember a while back how I posted about my first break down in a very long  time. I cried over little things like living so far from home.. I have  to admit I still love being home and having all my friends and family so close by. But I am learning to love distance. in this past year my relationship with my husband has strengthened through our struggles. The little rude comments here and there on my blog or someone else's about me or my family that would have normally torn me apart. I have learned to ignore.. and cope with a lot better all thanks to Michael. He is my rock and support and without him by my side I would be lost.

So for 2014 These are my Goals.

* * Being kind. Something I feel I struggle with. I think the older I get the more clear it becomes of how I should treat others. I have gone out of my way to reach out to others in need. I always feel like I could do a little bit more. Especially to Michael, he does more for me than I feel I could ever repay him for. I know if you asked him he would say that I make him so happy and that he wouldn't change a thing about me. I still plan to be  more supportive and caring.

* *  Eating healthy. This is a goal that both Michael and I are hoping to achieve. As soon as we get a place to call our we will be picking up some new healthy eating cook books. I know its going to be hard but defiantly worth it.

* *  Brush up on my Sewing skills. Michael spoiled the crap out of me for Christmas and got me a sewing Machine.  I can not wait to see what things I can put together!!

* *  get off the internet! This is a huge issue for me I am addicted to facebook and my blog and Instagram! This year my goal is to completely cut back! I will cut back to only blogging once a month and I have decided to turn of the notifications to my facebook and instagram. I need to stop letting my addiction to social media interfere with my daily life.  I hate that Michael and I cant even spend real quality time together without me looking at my phone! I know in the end it will make Michael happy and our relationship  so much better!

I know I do not have a lot of goals. I feel like those few will help impact my life in a huge way! I cant wait to see how the next year will turn out! Michael and I very hopeful about what the new year will bring us!

 
Another huge blessing out of the year 2013 would be Michaels job with Vivint! He is already moving up into a Operations Manager! They love the hard work and effort he puts into his job everyday! He is so happy to be in a company where he can continue to grow and move up in! We are very blessed to have this job!

I know this might seem really strange to you getting a message like this on your blog. I was shown your blog about a year ago through someone that knows your step daughters mom. At first I will admit some of the things you were doing I thought were over the top. I thought maybe you were only doing it to get to someone. Now that I have gotten to know you through your blog and friends I truly see that you are a kind caring person. Nothing like what a certain someone tries to make you out to be. I really do wish you and Michael all the happiness in the world. I grew up with a Step Mother and I only wish she treated me like family. It sure would have made it easier when I had to be around her. I can see how far you have come and how good of a step mother you are being. Keep up the good work. Don't ever let what one persons opinion of you change the way you treat Michaels daughter. There are more people out there that support you and who you are as a person than you think. I also hope that you and Michael get your dream and become pregnant. You truly will be a wonderful mother! keeping your family in our prayers.

Sincerely, Erica & John
