New year's reflections

Happy New Year!
What a year this has been! I feel like so much has happened, and I don't even know where to start... I wonder what this new year will have  in store for my little family, and for the world in general. As I look back, I feel tremendously blessed. We have what we need, and a lot to spare. I have a wonderful husband and a beautiful daughter. We have a great house that keeps us super busy, and it sure looks great! Brandon and I both have stable jobs when so many have lost hope. A lot has happened in my life in the last few months. I am grateful for the knowledge I have that has helped to get me through it all.
As I look forward there are things that I want to do this year. I know that everyone makes resolutions, and then breaks them. I'm not making resolutions, but I do want to try harder to keep in touch with family. I hadn't talked to my father for at least five months before he passed away. The week before, I thought about calling him, my husband suggested I call and talk to him, I brushed it aside and then he was gone. I don't want that to happen with anyone else that I love.
I want to be truly happy with where I am at in my life. I thought by now I'd have another child, that I would be able to devote my time to being a homemaker. I work in a tax office and look forward to the day when I can put Homemaker as my occupation on my taxes. I have watched what seems like everyone I know get pregnant and have babies while my baby is growing up! I sometimes look so much at what I want that I don't see what I already have. I am done with that. I have a family, and when the time is right we will be blessed with another child. Until then, I will be happy with the opportunities I do have. I am looking forward to going to school this year. I look forward to traveling a little lighter since Zoe isn't a baby anymore. We might even go to Disneyland!
Most of all I can't wait to see what this new year brings to us all!
