Happy New Year!

another year has come and gone...

and it was mostly good...

got some things figured out...

a few things done...

a few other things we  just lived through...

we are really blessed...

there were so many things we didn't have to do...

no surgeries or hospital rooms...

we have had both kids here with us through the holidays...

and for the most part, its been nice...

being the family here...

made some new friends and said goodbye to some old ones...

we did have to say goodbye to our sister in law...

that was probably the hardest thing this year...

her passing really hits close to home...

all in all, it really wasn't a bad year here...

we have had better, but we have had so much worse years...

the guys are working...

the bills are paid...

the lights are on...

and the fridge is full...

what else do you really need?

I guess I am looking forward to 2016...

my one regret is that I have been a bad blogger this year...

really bad...

and I do care about you all...

its just...

I am living my life for the first time in years...

I am doing things...

not just sitting here trying to find things to pass the time...

I am able to do things on my own more...

and trying to do more, keep up here...

housework waits for no one...

just being able to have things done and pretty when the guys come home...

that the days aren't wasted...

that I didn't lose all that time...

this is what I do in my down time...

;0)

I need to work on a compromise on that this year...

I miss you and your humor and your ideas...

so here  is to us...

may this be our best year yet...
