Happy New Year!

We hope that all of you have a wonderful new year!  I know I have plans for myself for this new year.  I absolutely HAVE to make TSgt this year and I hope that Chris does as well.  We could sure use the raise.  I’ve come to learn that it seems like there is a black cloud constantly over me.  It seems that nothing goes right for me although I do have a good life.  I’m going to try not to play so much of the victim and just accept the things that do not go right in my life.  It’s going to be a hard change because it just gets so frustrating sometimes.  I am going to continue to work hard to keep the weight off me that I lost while I was deployed.  I feel that this year is OUR year and I’m going to do everything I can to keep that good attitude.  Hopefully this year we’ll be buying the house we’ve been renting.  I just pray that everything goes through with it.  We really do love that house and it would be nice to do what we want to it.  I want to paint and really make it our own.
