When I think about all that happened last year, I can't believe I survived. Here are some highlights.
*Taught fourth grade.
*Went to Iowa for spring break and another trip this summer.
*Husband came home on leave from Iraq.
*Went to Georgia to see family.
*Found out I was pregnant (see above about leave).
*Got the sewing bug and have lost count on what I have sewed.
*Said farewell to the HP epic tale (not permanently, just no new).
*Husband came home from Iraq.

This is just a tip of the iceberg. I have pregnancy brain so there is probably a lot more important events that I am forgetting.
I do not look back at 2011 with regret. I accomplished much personally. Don't get me wrong. I haven't become who I want to be yet, but am making strides. I want to be a better listener to my husband. That is one major goal for 2012. He is a man of words where I am one who only uses the words necessary to get point across. Opposites do attract but I can be better at listening.
I want to get back into running. I was training for a half marathon when I got pregnant. I look at my legs now and want to cry. They are water retaining, not pavement pounding legs. I want to run at least one half marathon this year.
I want to read one non fiction book. I hate non-fiction, but my husband reads them. I think I will pick one on food of the sixteenth century, or something like that. Food...it is time for my morning snack.
As we have some major life changes coming up, I want to be strong for my family and my self. I want to cling to my husband and never let go. Bring it on, 2012!
