A year in Review

Thank you my dear friends and followers for always being there and being my friend, this year has not always been easy but it has been worth it.

A year in Review

January- We celebrated my Mommas 53rd Birthday.
I also started menu planning this month and have never looked back. It is such a good feeling to wake in the morning and know what you are cooking that day and not wonder if you have all the ingredients etc.

February- Found out I was treated for something that I didn't have for 2 long years.  Even to this day I have no idea what I have going on, but hopefully this year we can find out, I still have nightly episodes even after having my IUD removed, but God has a plan for me and my life and I know I am going thru this for a reason.

Celebrated another Valentines Day with my one and only Valentine. This one marked 15 we have spent together :) Looking forward to many many more together.

Found out our family would be growing by two little feet- my sister and her husband were expecting.
Grandpa went to the hospital for his final time after having many strokes, heart attacks and seizures, they made the decision to keep him there for the rest of his days.
Got a new casual position, it was a great job and I loved every minute of it.

March- Celebrated my Father in law's 50 something birthday ;)
Had my bladder surgery scheduled and because of a flu, it got postponed

April- My baby brother was celebrated as he turned 23 
-Easter at my aunts house- it was nice to spend it with family
Had bladder surgery where they found no endometrosis or IC- so now I'm left without a diagnosis and my doctor discharged me because there is nothing she can do when they don't know what it is

May
The month started out with my losing my grandpa- he was one of my closest friends, losing him was the hardest thing I have had to deal with this year.  I went back home to NL for the funeral to do his tribute and to be with my family. We celebrated his life greatly
We celebrated 12 years of Marriage- my favourite one dozen years
We also took the greatest vacation we have been on to date- we were gone for 3 weeks, we travelled to so many US states, zoo's, parks, shopping, restaurants, visited with friends and family.

June
Was a quiet month for us as we were recovering from an awesome vacation

July
We survived our first major hurricane here with minimal damage to our property- we had lost electricity for 7 days though- that was tough
Celebrated our Baby Girl turning 11- she didn't want a big party this year so we took her and 2 friends to a amusement park and they had a great time

August
Was another quiet month as we prepared to move to a new house.
Celebrated my Grandpa's birthday
Lost my casual job and looking for a new job

September
Middle School for Brooke - that was hard on me- felt to surreal that she is growing up

October
My 32 birthday, my dad's birthday and my nephews birthday
My New Niece made her entrance into this world- Norah Rose
celebrated 4 years since my lung surgery and no problems since

November
Finished off all Christmas shopping super early
Started a new job that i enjoy

December:
Christmas with just the three of us, something that we have never done before, but it has been a great time together with new traditions started and memories made.
