2011 Recap and Whats Ahead for 2012

So the kids are outside playing right now while Jeremy cleans the patio off so I am blogging for a few minutes. Last year was a long year. My mom had multiple surgeries on her eyes throughout the year and the end of 2011 she was blind in her right eye, today though she was able to see her hand. It was about 1-2 inches from her face but she still saw it =) We have lost several people this year (Uncle Jay, jeremy's great uncle, Granny Gardner, and my Uncle JD); we miss them so much, but I know that they are watching over us throughout the day everyday. My little boy turned 1 in April and Shiana turned 4 and Sydney turned 11 in July. My best friend moved to North Dakota and I miss hanging out with her every day! We made several trips back and forth to visit family and the most recent was when my Daddy had a heart attack. Looking ahead to 2012 there are so many positive and exciting things that I am looking forward to.

January: we have my dad's birthday and my niece's birthday this month. I am also starting school work with Shiana to get her ready for school.

February: Valentine's Day, I guess. Jeremy is suppose to start ACAP appointments this month.

March: I turn 24, I feel old already. 

April: My little boy will turn 2, already. I am not ready for the terrible, oh wait he has already hit the terrible twos.

May: This month I will be packing, and loading and moving and unloading ALL of our stuff. This is the month that we FINALLY get to move back home to Alabama. I am so ready and as weird as it sounds, I am ready to pack and move. Keylan will also be having his first birthday party at home =)

June: Hopefully by the middle of this month we will be moved into a house or apartment (3 bedrooms at least) and have jobs.

July: Shiana turns the big 5! Another BIG party =) Sydney will also be turning 12. Oh and my little brother turns 21, definitely need to figure out something fun to do with him.

August: My mom's birthday, Jeremy turns 28 and Shiana will be starting Kindergarten. =( My little girl starts school, but that only leads to new, fun things to learn.

September: Can't think of to much for this month

October: Our FIRST Halloween at home with the kids. Hoping we are in a house because I am wanting to go all out on decorations. lol. Looking forward to the pumpkin patch and trick or treating and new corn mazes this year.

November: First Thanksgiving at home! Have to figure out a good routine since we will be dividing the day between my parents and Jeremy's family =)

December: I know we just came out of December, but this is the month that I am looking forward to. The start of new official family traditions and figuring out new things for Christmas Eve and Day. I finally get to have the kids open presents in their own home first on Christmas morning =)

This of course is not everything; but hopefully we have a good year with health and wellness. I will also be getting Keylan into his own room for the very first time ever when we get a new place and getting rid of the paci and completing the potty training, which he is actually not to far away from. So this year looks like it is going to be a good year.
