HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

 

I hope everyone is starting off the year right.  I am starting mine off by publishing my first blog. yay!

 

The purpose of this blog is not much for people to read but more for me to be able to jot down my experiences and reflections; and to also be able to record things I learn and of course keep a record of my busy life. 

 

If anyone decides to read my posts I hope that you too will be able to learn and perhaps we can learn from each other.  I have added the option for people to comment; all I ask is that you maintain respect and refrain from profanity - thank you! 

 

So I will begin by giving some information about my life.  I am happily married to my best friend, Michael.  We have 4 kids: Myra, Gabe, Makayla, and Daniel.  Our lives seem to be pretty busy but we manage to survive, lol.

 

For my hubby's birthday; which was on December 23rd; I gave him a unique gift.  A gift of time, priceless, right?  time, nowadays seems to be precious, it's like 24 hours a day is just not enough to get everything done.  Anyways, I basically gave him 12 dates, one for each month.  I wrote him a letter explaining how everything works; we will open each envelope (each envelope is labeled with a month of the year) at the beginning of each month and if it does not have a date set then we will decide together when to go.  Most of them are already paid for and planned completely.  It may seem like a cheesy gift but like a said earlier, time is precious, and marriage is about giving each other time, communication and yes, husbands and wives need alone time, especially when our schedules are so hectic. 

 

So today we get to open our first envelope and I hope he likes what we will be doing this month.  I have signed us up for the Hot Chocolate Run.  This will be our first 5k run together.  I don't know of a better way to start the year than to go to a 5k run together.  It is an event Michael had been wanting to go so I know he will be excited.

 

Well, that's all I have to say for today.  If you have read this blog, I hope you enjoyed it. Like I said, I am not looking to the most liked blogger or the most commented one, this is more for my record.  Sometimes it is good to just write things away and not just keep them in, besides, you never know who might read them some day :)
