Happy New Year!!

As we ring in the New Year it is a time to reflect on the past year.



This year has been many things to me; hard, wonderful, and special for many reasons. It's been a hard year, but definately worth it!

Between my surgery, losing my job, and then finally finding a job, I can't say that I would change a thing!

Next month we will celebrate 1 year (11 months today) since my open-heart surgery, and I am so thankful for all the blessings and prayers that came our way.


I also am so grateful and thankful of my family, and Rich's family. My Mom and Dad for all their support this past year, and all their help when we needed it most! My Grandma for her help and support, My sister for being our phone call person last January who kept everyone updated when we couldn't and Rich's parents for their willingness to send Dad here to stay with my boys so Rich could be with me at the hospital as much as possible for 2 weeks. I know I gave everyone quite a scare, but without everyone it wouldn't have been possible! And while I will probably repeat some of this next month when we celebrate I can never thank all of you enough!

And of course my wonderful husband, who was so wonderful this past year. He let me whine, complain and be miserable, but in the end pushed me to eat and walk to get back to 110% in "record" time! Surprising not only me, but my drs also!

As we ring in the new year, with new beginnings let's all reflect on what this past year has meant to us and what we are thankful for! Family, Friends and Our Health. Things that are most important!

I hope everyone has a very blessed new year!
