A new year

I am so incredibly excited about 2009. I'm not one for resolutions or anything like that, no one ever seems to keep them anyway but I am one for new beginnings and believing that if you really want to you can start new. That's what I'm doing. Starting new in a new year. 2009 is going to be just great, I can feel it.

Life has been so far from perfect lately that I've decided that life sucks. I have been so upset about my nowhere near perfect life that I got to the point where I'd given up on just about everything that I should be doing regularly. I have had not one ounce of motivation to do anything and so nothing has been getting done which only make me feel more overwhelmed and more un-wanting to do anything! The end of last week Nate and I sat down and made some "rules" for each other. We've been so busy with life that we have been horrible and making time for each other and especially at talking. We both had some things that we had been keeping to ourselves that really needed to get out in the open. So we sat down and talked, for hours, opened up problems and made solutions. I know it's only been a week but seriously this week has been one of the best weeks in our entire marriage or for that matter relationship, which is now just a few weeks shy of 5 years! A lot of the things awe talked about some might say are silly and some of our "rules" probably seem ridiculous but everything bugs you and causes problem when you keep it to yourself and that's what has been happening for....we'll just say too long.

Anyway here we are in 2009 and it really is going to be great. We're sticking to the new us and changing lots of things. My goals ( not resolutions) for the upcoming year are very simple. First goal: To not be prego for ANY of 2009. I know kinda weird but if you know how much I have been pregnant and how worn out my body is, you'd understand. I'm gonna not be pregnant and I'm gonna get my body in the best shape ever so that I can be a good mom to my kids now and any future kids. And be a wife for a while instead of just prego/nursing mom. And then my second goal: To get through all of our junk and organize! I know if I can stick to it once I have it "fixed" I can keep it that way but we have been living in a unorganized very "stashed" life for a year and a half now. I'm sick of it! We moved in quickly to this house and had a new baby and therefore things got stashed where they didn't belong and it's been a snowball effect ever since. So I'm gonna fix it. And I'm happy to report that today I put away all of our Christmas decorations and while doing that ended up organizing our crawl space. Okay so I didn't finish but I got a LOT done. Then we rearranged our living room. I am in love with our "new" room. I get happy everytime I walk downstairs.

Anyway I gotts to go but I hope everyone out there had a good new year. I'll post pictures of the new pad as soon as I remember to take them:)
