Here is a review of some things that 2012 brought:
Cruise! We went on a cruise last Jan. A great way to start a new year.
Once we got home, I was offered a job at the University Neuropsychiatric Institute as a psychiatric technician. This job has been such a blessing. Working with those who are mentally ill and seeing life in a whole new way. I love helping people and this job allows me to help those who are truly hanging on by a thread. It feels amazing to be able to see someone who is literally in the deepest depth of despair become bright, happy, and decide that life is worth living.
In march I found out I was pregnant. This has been the most life altering event I could have had. Even though my pregnancy ended at 12 weeks, the love I had for that unborn baby truly amazed me and taught me some of lifes hardest lessons. The things I learns about my self, Chase, my family, and God, was worth it all. Even though I wish that pregnancy would have brought me a child to raise, I would never take back that experience and the lessons I learned. Overall, I will always live my life in a way that I hope that that baby (and all my future children) would be proud to have me for a mother.
I graduated with my Bachelor's degree. Well, technically my last class was December 2011, but I walked with my graduating class in 2012. I am so grateful to have had the oppurtunity to attend college and to get a degree that I am passionate about. Eventually I will pursue a Master's degree, but until then, I am satisfied with what I have now.
My best friends brother died. He was like a brother to me and his passing brought great sorrow to my families heart. I still think about him all the time and am so grateful to have had him in my life. He picked on me like a little sister and I looked up to him as a big brother. I know that he is watching over his family and he is still with us.
Chase become a police officer for Ogden City. YAY! Chase worked so hard in the academy and it finally paid off. He is such a great husband and supports me nonstop. This job is the making of his dream job and get so excited to go to work each day. It's very hard at times being a wife of a police officer but I would never change it for the world! Once he got that job, our lives were really put in motion.
We bought a house! One of the most exciting and expensice purchases ever. But it feels soooo good to have a house, with a fence that is mine. That I can paint any walls I want, hang up all the things I want and have it be messy from time to time. I love it and I can't wait to bring my babies to this home and raise them here. Each place Chase and I moved to, we have dedicated the home, or apartment to the lord. Chase gives the home a blessing of safety and comfort. This time, the blessing for our home, was differemt. The words were stronger and had more meaning, and I just know that this is where the Lord wants us and I am so glad becuase I am so happy here.
I can't wait until spring so I can make this yard pretty! I love yard work and will be enjoying every minute making this house my home.
NowOnTo2013
All I ask in 2013 is continued happiness and a baby :)As well as me eating healthier and getting back into shape like the rest of the world.
Happy New Year Everyone!!!
