So Long, Farewell...

2017 was BY FAR my best year yet.  

There were so many more ups than downs and that truly is a first.  Dustin asked me to marry him and that's pretty awesome.  I never pictured myself actually finding someone I wanted to spend my life with.  I survived a horrific pregnancy and welcomed Kenneth into the world.  I made the tough decision to quit my job and be a stay-at-home mom; a choice that wasn't easy, but that I am so grateful that I made.  We purchased and moved into our first home together, and nothing has completely fallen apart yet.  I've been transitioning to a healthier, less waste, more natural lifestyle and am really grateful that Dustin supports whatever it is I set my mind to.  I lost a few friends in 2017, but also gained some new ones.  I'm incredibly thankful for the mom group I go to for bringing a ton of new wonderful Mamas into my life.  In 2018 I want to keep doing the things that make me happy.  I want to cook more healthy meals and really go completely dairy free.  I want to pick up a book more often and get lost in another world.  I want to continue being the best mom I can be.  I want to spend some alone time with Dustin, even if that means having to leave Kenneth with someone else. (*gasp*)  I want to save money more thoughtfully.  I want to learn how to use the camera I got for Christmas.  

Most of all, I want to keep living everyday in the moment and to see the beauty that surrounds me in every situation.
