33!

I turned 33 on December 27, and, I have to say, I think this is going to be my best year yet.  Last year was a really tough one for me.  I struggled a lot with work, with two different bad job situations, and trying to sell our house.  I felt very uneasy, and, at times, hopeless about both situations.   Last summer, I had a significant personal situation that really changed my life.  I decided at that time that I would not take anything for granted, and that I was not going to do anything to jeopardize the wonderful life I have been blessed with.  I turned to God a lot during these months.  And, miraculously, after I made the conscious decision to live life a different way, everything turned around.  We sold our house and bought our dream house.  As soon as we moved, I felt an immense sense of peace.  I know that Southlake is where we are supposed to be, and I am so happy we are here.  I also found an amazing new job.  My boss is wonderful, my coworkers are great, and I really feel like this is a place where I can shine in my work while still maintaining a "part-time" schedule so that I don't have to miss any important family moments.

I celebrated my birthday surrounded by family.  We went to Mellow Mushroom for lunch to continue our tradition of pizza birthday celebrations, and Frank took me out to a nice dinner that night.  Frankie helped me blow out my birthday candles.  My birthday wish is for continued health and happiness in the coming year.
