A 2013 reflection.

Wow friends another year has come and gone. I can not believe that its days away from being 2014. This year definitely has come with its ups and downs. Ive had moments of being extremely proud of myself and moments when I fell comleptely on my face. I saw first hand one of the most heart breaking experiences that I could have ever watched a friend go through. I watched a few friendships fall apart. I said things I wish I could have taken back. And missed opportunities to say the things I know my friends needed to hear. I made some new friends for just a short amount of time that I have a bond with for the rest of my life. I know what its like to study till you want to cry. I know what its like to truly forgive someone who didn't exactly deserve to be forgiven. I sat on a church pew and FINALLY after 10 years finally forgave him. And let the hurt go. I know exactly What it's like to work hard on a marriage that at times you thought might not make it. I know what it's like to watch someone completely turn their back on you. I've realized that you can't trust everybody. I know what it's like to witness cattiness first hand. I know what it's like to want to pull your hair out as a mother and want to cry and just scream and in return that doesn't make me a bad mom, that makes me human because at the end of the day when he crawls in my lap and puts his hand on my cheek and kisses me, he is damn well worth every stressful moment. I realized i don't have to love my husbands family just to love my husband. I realized i am good enough. I know what it's like to spend to much money on shoes. I know just how stupid retail shopping is when your not feeling your best self.I realized this year just how strong I really am. That I can do whatever I put my mind too. I am beautiful. I do have a good heart. I love hard. 

Thats just some emotional highlights lol. 
January I finally took my ged. I never took it  because I knew I would fail. But I took it anyway. I passed with flying colors and actually had a pretty high score on mine. 
The next month I enrolled in college, something else I never thought I would do. I went for dental assisting. I ended up getting a 4.0 and made several friends that I LOVE. I never thought that would happen either. But when you sound 8 months with the same group of girls, you end up forming a bond. I cried with these ladies, laughed with these ladies, yelled with these ladies, pulled my hair out with these ladies but at the end of the day I ended up loving these ladies.
  Another great highlight was my son has his first birthday. It was amazing. We had so much fun. I just couldn't believe that my baby turned one. It was such a happy day but sad at the same time.
My husband and I left our son for the first time over night this year. We cried our eyes out the first night! we where only gone for two nights ha!! We went out of town for our one year wedding anniversary :)
We moved to the country last year, and ended up moving back to old hickory this year. We hate ever min of it and can't wait to get back to Ashland City lol. 
thats just a few things from this year but I have to ask… what do I want out of this year? So my dad sent me an email today and the question are good questions for the next year. So I figured I would share my answers.

                 2014 Im going to…...
A bad habit I'm going to break:    Im going to try to break away from cussing so much. I know that is going to be a HARD one. I have a mouth like a sailor. 
A new skill I'd like to learn: I would really like to learn how to cook better. And I would also like to learn how to sew. So apparently i want to become susie homemaker hahah!!
A person I hope to be more like: Now this is a good one. I don't know if there is a person I want to be like as much as I know the person I would like to be. I would like to be more caring. A even better mother. A person with patients. To love and cherish my husband more. I have really fallen on my face at the end of this year and I would just like to build myself back up again and be everything I know I can be… so there ha!
A good deed Im going to do: I would like to get back into church and helping out with the youth again :)
A place I would like to visit: I actually have a few I would like to visit this year… Vegas is definitely number one because I would like to go and see the Britney Spears show (don't judge me ha) and Hawaii is also very big on my list. I would realllllyyyy like to go to those two places this next year.
What I want most out of 2014: I want to reconnect with friends again. Spend even more time with my son, but also mu husband. I would like to go back to school to to further my education in the dental field. I want to just enjoy my life without ALWAYS worrying about the what ifs.


what about you? what where some highlights from your year? what do you want out of 2014?      

Until we meet again- ASH
