Another year....

Ok wow it has been a while and I don't even have to change my background....opps! Well a lot has happened in the last year of my life. I started 2010 at a New Years party with my bestie Kristen and a group of their friends last year. I remember us telling each other 2010 is our year b/c the previous one was not that great. Well...I was wrong. It has been a year of heartaches and very trying on me and my family. After the new year we found out my grandfather has Stage 4 Lung cancer and my uncle passed away suddenly May 21st from a massive heart attack. With all the other stresses from the economy, life, and drama....you would think that there is only one way and that is up from here. I have caught myself saying "it can't get worse" a lot this year only to find that it has. I am not saying this to have a pity party but just to warn people that I have a new perspective on life with all these hard times this year. I have changed A LOT and already have noticed not everyone seems to like the new changes.

The most important things I have learned:
- I now know who my TRUE friends are
- I am the only one looking out for me so I have to do it
- Life changes in a second
- match.com has given me some good stories
- redecorating a house is my therapy
- goals have changed for my life
- i want to go far in my career so that will take some changes

One of my favorite songs and has been a statement in my life is "You Find out who your Friends Are" by Tracy Lawrence.

All I have to say is "2011" will be a year of change for me. Putting all these lessons into action and moving forward:) I am truly thankful for all my true friends and great family for being there to hold me up when I didn't think I could get through another day after Uncle Steve passed away. I love you with all of my heart!!!!
