Its been a year!!

It has been about a year since I dived into this whole Blog world.. I have learned quite a few things and I am sure there are still so many things out there that I do not even have a clue they exist..
As I am sitting here in my dead silent house which does not happen very often I can probably count the time it has since I started blogging on my fingers.. haha Okay so maybe it is not that bad but still I find myself just sitting and thinking any time the house is quiet. Even though I know there is a million other things i could be doing; cleaning, homework, scrapbooking, working on my flowers, working on a million other projects I have started, reading the scriptures, exercising, sleeping BLOGING. Thats right here I am convincing myself I am doing something productive.. :D
You all care right you want to know I know you do!
Well I decided to make a list of things that have changed so much over the last year....
Aidan!
He has came so far even in the last 5 months! He really is turing into such a sweet little man. His new thing is he tries burping so he can say excuse me because he knows it is good manners to say excuse me and he feels so proud when he says it...so he says it as much as he can! haha
He has also started daycare. He loves it so much. Of course it took some time for him to get used to it and get used to the different rules and being around kids all day definatly was a challenge for him. But now he loves it! I am so happy to drop him off and see his little face light up. He is also learning so much there...Oh and he got to sign up for Tball this week! I can not believe my little man is going to be playing tball this summer! Babe Ruth better watch out!
Also in the last year I have got him potty trained FINALLY he sleeps in his own bed every night and the most important one i think is that he can spot a picture of heavenly father from across the room. :D
My goals!
I started this year thinking I still wanted to be an Teacher well plans have changed a couple times. I am now going to school to be a Medical Transcriptionist... AKA stay at home mom. That is the part I am most excited for is I will get to work from home!! I am hoping to be done in August, and start working from home shortly after.
I still am at the same job i had barely started when I started my job. I really enjoy what I do. It is like every other job and has its goods and bads but all in all it is pretty great.. I have had promotions over the year stepped down from promotions (huge relief!) thought about applying for other positions decided not to.. (huge relief)
Now I am acutally in the process of looking for a part time job i can work at evenings and weekends after I get off at Sorensons, just so I can get caught up and possibly a little ahead is that possible in this day and age..?
Me!
I have grown up so much in the last year! I have realized what I want and dont want in a boyfriend.. Mostly trial and error.. Booo haha I have realized that it is so important to take things slow and if that guy is right for you he will respect that... I have realized what is important in life.. My family which is the main reason I decided to go into what profession I did other than the fact that I think I will love it.
I have realized how lucky I am to have the parents brother and sister in law and grandmother that I do. I have been shown nothing but so much love from each of these people listed in thier own way of course but none the less.. Amazing acts of love have been poured out to me.
I have realized that great friends do not always mean they are true friends. Unfortunatly I have gone through some amazing girl friends this year we have had our ups and downs but the true test is who will call the next day or answer when you call to say your sorry.. I have been betrayed by someone who I considered my very best friend who I have done so much for time and time again. But in the process she helped me realize that maybe I do have more value than I see and for that reason alone I could never say our friendship was a waste...
Okay well tha is probably enough rambling on for one night..
I with close with this thought about the last year
I have learned so many things lately and I have to put them into words.. I have learned that there is a subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. I've learned that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t always mean security. I have learned that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises. I’ve started to accept my defeats with my head up and my eyes ahead. I have built my roads on today because tomorrow's grounds are too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of falling down in mid flight. I have learned that sunshine burns if you get too much. I planted my own garden and decorated my own life instead of waiting for someone else coming to bring me flowers. I have become stronger and realized that I really can endure. I am strong. I have learned that I have worth. I have learned with every goodbye and look forward to my hellos.
