- Had Lauryn visit for a week for spring break (and we are about to again)
- Got Winnie (yeah!)
- Had Lauryn spend 1/2 of the summer with us
- Had Karen, Mom, Dad, Reilly, and Taylor come visit
- Went to IL (for MaMa's funeral not the best circumstances, and David's first trip to IL)
- Had Christmas / Holidays in Disneyworld (AWESOME!)
- Went on a week cruise with David and my in-laws
- Planned Winnie's birthday party
So you may be asking with all this going on did I learn anything? Well, if every year you are suppose to become more "wise" then I did learn a few things.
- Try to look at the world as if you were still a child. Lauryn see's things in such a great way, she is open to everything, and is willing to try most things.
- Trying is half the battle, just start with trying the effort is worth it.
- Give back, make an effort. See #2. Give back to any one or any thing. Be it as small as sharing your time, or your talent, it will be appreicated.
- Age is just a number (I am still working on accepting this one). As my Father in law tells me you are just a day older than you were before, not a whole year older! Wise!
- I am lucky enough to have wonderful In-Laws who are within driving distance. My family is so far away and the older I get the more I wish I could see them and spend time with them. So it is nice to know my in-laws and friends are so close. It helps for sure.
- Pray, think positive thoughts, wish for things, whatever it takes. For me it is praying, simple as that. And do it often. The more you involve God in your life the easier things get.
So those are a few lists for now. Every day I am constantly amazed with David, Winnie, my job, Lauryn and my friends. I learn new things about myself and David everyday, and I love him more each and everyday.
A few of these are deep so maybe that means I am getting wiser, either way I am for sure getting older! And that can't be stopped.
