Year 2011

I know this post is a little behind since it is 3 days into January, but I have been working on a few other things and it just slipped my mind that I should do a post.

2011 totally kicked my butt in so many ways.  I guess it was the year of learning.  I learned how to come back to LA despite how paralyzed with grief and afraid I was of being here.  I learned with to live through pain, keep smiling, keep moving.   I met many amazing people.  I started exercising and taking better care of my body.  I learned more about how to be proactive in my health care.  I learned as much as I could about how we could start a family.  I learned to interview doctors and be cautious.  I learned we were expecting our 2nd baby.  I learned how to trust in Him through this pregnancy even though I am scared 100% of the time.  I learned so much about sewing, creating and inventing.  I learned that my husband is a genius (I already knew this, but I am constantly RElearning this piece of information about him).  I learned my dog actually was house trained, but that I was not trained to respond to his cues.  I learned that more than anything I want to keep on learning and growing and fighting to keep going.  Lastly, I learned that I can do all these things and still miss our baby, Mason even though it hurts sometimes.

So long 2011, thank you for teaching me so much about myself.
