Old and New

So, it's been forever since I have blogged.  I keep meaning to and then life gets ahold of me and I push it off.  

Let me start off by saying that 2011 has been a fabulous year so far.  I have so many things to thank God for everyday.  I have a job that I seem to be able to keep at times, I have coworkers that are like a little family here in the Charlotte area, I have a family that loves me, I have friends that are unbelievable, I have a puppy who seems to be the joy in my life most days, and I have a fiance who never ceases to amaze me. So, 2011 you have been good to me.

I have lots going on this year.  At work, things are increasing in my schedule and the big step this year is becoming a wife.  In less than 5 months I will exchange vows and I do's with someone that I love and who gives me the love I give in return. I must say that I have struggled in this wedding planning thing a little but I should be back on track (at the moment that I am typing this :) )

As 2011 rolled in, I looked around me and in my life and did an inventory of people. Some people have disappointed me, a lot of people have disappointed me to be exact, but I have forgiven them and have moved on.  I looked around at the people I choose ot surround myself with and I have decided that some relationships are better left in 2010.  Some people will always be a part of my life, simply because they are family or because they have a purpose, BUT I have decided that some people just simply didn't keep a promise of a relationship.  So I'm leaving them in 2010.

It became apparent to me that some people don't get out of a certain stage in their life.  After moving and sitting back and watching a lot of people, I realized that I didn't want to be a part of certain things. I have learned as my mother says, "theres a difference in being excited and acting like you're 13"  I know how to be excited without displaying childish attitude and ways.  I've watched people cling to certain people that they talked down about at one time and decided that isn't me.  I have watched some sleep with others boyfriends and then go out with the guys girlfriend as if nothing ever happened.

So, 2010, happy to see you go and glad you brought 2011 because you allowed me to say good bye to some people and you allowed me to carry over awesome relationships.

So to all of you close to me, I love you and am blessed to have you.  I can wait to see what the future holds!!!


Heres to hoping everyone has a fabulous year!!!
