So far 2011 has been quite an unexpected ride for me. It's only March and I feel as though I
have had enough happen in these 2 1/2 months to get me a free pass for most of the year.
I haven't had much time to blog so I am going to sum it up in a few highlights.
- I said goodbye to my sister without knowing when I will see her again.
- I began a new job
- Watched people get fired at my new job.
- Gained a houseguest
- Fought more with my husband due to houseguest
- Lost my firstborn, my dog, 3x's due to houseguest
- Had my period EVERY month...and on time (this is highly unusual but incredibly comforting for me)
- Gained 5 lbs, on top of the other 5 from 2010....FML.
- Promised my best friend that I would have a baby 9 months after I move into a new home. Luckily I've bought myself some time with this one due to not moving anytime soon :)
- Was hurt intensely by a friend
- Said I’m sorry to a good friend…that was 3 yrs too late.
- Had the worst fight of our 14 year friendship with my best friend.
- My husband and I gained job security for life...with the job I hate doing.
- Been to church no more than 5x’s due to working on the weekends.
- Watched my new company downsize to only 4 employees, and possibly go out of business.
- Spent every Monday night building relationships with my best friends over The Bachelor and too much wine :)
- Been constantly tested in every area of my life
- Began to find myself again
So far 2011 has brought many trials mixed with many blessings, but its nothing I can't overcome. I expect the rest of the year to bring just as many trials...but, I will be ready for them, and I will spend more time counting my blessings and being thankful for the wonderful things the Lord has blessed me with.
I will beat you 2011.
