Remiss AGAIN in my posts', Sorry.

So it has been awhile since I posted. Christmas has come and gone, the beginning of a new year and school is back in session.
Last time I posted I was on pins and needles with knowing what my grades were. I am VERY Very HAPPY to say that I got an A in my psychology course and a B in my math! I am so happy with it. I have tried that class so many times and have literally failed it. Christmas came and we had a lovely day. Christmas morning we had grandmas and grandpa over, my mom and dad and my dad's mother. At 10 everyone came over, we had a wonderful breakfast and we all opened gifts. It was really relaxed and everyone had a great time.
After that is was time to go into "end" mode. I got the news that my store was closing on the 19Th. We were closed for business on the 29Th and cleaned out on the 30Th. I have been off work since then, only just returning to work today.
I am down about the closing of my store, however I understand why and support it if it means that people won't loose their jobs. I am back to working at the McMinnville store and it seems a bit odd. I am not familiar with the store and feel a little backwards there.

School is back in session, Ally is loving it and I feel that I just dove head first into a kiddie pool from a hundred feet up! My class schedule is full time and I just hope I can keep up.

We went to the eye doctor today and found out that Ally has to have glasses. She is EXTREMELY far sited and has a astigmatism. This explains a lot with her school work. She is really excited about it and I am a little apprehensive about it. I just don't want her to get called names and for her to loose them. I know it will be all good, but what do mom's do best?

So the New Year has come. Reflecting back on last years "resolutions", I still believe that it setting yourself up for failure, I made three. 1) Loose some weight, 2) pay off some medical bills, 3) do more outdoorsy stuff. I feel pretty confident in saying that I have achieved all three. I lost 37 pounds this year, payed off some of our biggest bills, and did some outdoorsy stuff. I am feeling pretty good!

This year I want to loose some more weight, I want to finish paying off our medical bills, I want to finish my degree with a 3.0, and I am going to make a list of 10 places I want to visit this year and do it.

I think that this is a pretty good list to try for and I feel confident that I am going to do it.

Tomorrow Ally is going to be spending the entire day with her Girl Scout troop having some fun. She is really happy and I am too. She has been so cooped up for the last couple weeks it will do her some good to get out.

Finally.
Last year has come and gone. The time for reflections is here and with that the regrets too. Don't look to the past to push forward but learn from the past to advance in all you do. The past is that, the past. The present is a gift from above and the future is what you make it to be.

Looking at the last year I have no regrets. I have learned a lot about myself and what I want in my life and for my life. Whatever this year brings I am ready, I hope.

'til later.
