Bye Bye 2011

Hello 2012!!  the last few weeks of 2011 were spent doing a little traveling (New York & Seattle), shopping, watching movies, a few days in school, eating lots of food, and enjoying life...as usual :)
I can't believe it's been a little over a year ago since my very first blog post.  A lot has happened this year, although, I think 2010 has 2011 beat as far as being super eventful.  2011 held many good experiences, first times, last times, a little traveling, a lot of new people, some ups, some downs, a few scary moments, a TON of exciting moments, and overall..I am happy with life.
2012 will also be full of new, exciting experiences.  I can't believe I will be 24 years in just a few short months, just a minute ago I was turning 23...2011, where did you go??  I will be finishing school in July.  Looking forward to some serious traveling after that :)  We will be celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary this year!!  Gabriel will be turning two years old (wow).  Henry will be turning 1 year old, sometime in the spring or summer, and hopefully will be moving out of the basement to big, wild outdoors. hehe  We will have lived in our place for a whole year, that's a big deal, considering the last few years :).  Looking forward to starting my career.  Can't wait for the warm weather to roll around, MORE time on the motorcycle.  We both might start taking flying lessons...working toward a pilots license.  I definitely want to get my motorcycle license.  Planning a cross country road trip after I graduate, CAN'T wait for that :o)....lot's of plans and things to look forward to this year.
Some Goals:
-Be more conscious of the things I say
-Have a more positive attitude
-Smile more
-Pray more
-Get involved with people
-Sing more
-Laugh more
-Keep in touch with my family more often
-Try not to procrastinate so much

-Take lots more pictures
-Spend less money on useless things
-Save more money
-Plan ahead, and in the same sense be spontaneous
-Be more health conscious

The Questions...

Do we choose to let our past define our future?  How do we live for today?  How do we find peace when we are living in fear?  Should we embrace change or run from it?  Those heartaches... how do we heal?  Where do we turn?  Is anyone on our side?  Will we ever survive these trials, these battles, these valleys?  How do we get back up? Questions that everyone will ask themselves at some point in their journey through life.  Who do you run to?  Who do you trust?  Where do you find your hope?  Family, friends, neighbors, preachers, teachers, counselors, social media, alcohol, drugs?  I think we have all fallen and crawled to the path of least resistance only to find ourselves in more despair.  The "easy" way out isn't always so. We must be broken.  We must be shattered.  We must be torn.  We must be shaken.  We must be molded. The only place to find true peace, true love, true happiness, true jo...

my intentions:)

Once again, I am writing in hopes to encourage myself to be a little more intentional about keeping up with this little blog I started 6 years ago.   In my short journey with the twins and G, I have searched the internet for any and all advice, info, reviews, and help in the form of blogs, forums, and videos.  There is plenty of all of that out there, but to my dismay I haven't found a lot of what I have been searching for.  My hopes in writing about our family's experiences and opinions, is that another mom or family with similar dynamics as ours will find it helpful.  I may not attract anyone here, and that's fine too.  I really just want to be able to look back in a few years and be able to smile about the journey.   A few things I hope to blog about are: Postpartum blues Marriage with infant twins and a 3 yr old Breastfeeding Twins Domestic travel with infant twins & 3 yr old International travel with twins & 3 yr old A day in t...
