A New Year---A New Lease on Life

10 January 2012

In the last few months, we have moved into our new home, Justin started his new job as the Station Commander here in Osceola, Iowa, and we have started a new year.
Christmas was very quiet. We spent the day going to church to remember the true meaning of Christmas and then stayed inside enjoying a homemade dinner and sleep. We bought caught the flu and spend a day or two in bed recovering.
New Years was a lot of fun. We went to a new friends' home and enjoyed getting to know them outside of church and then headed off to our newest club: Justin & I are now members of the Osceola Eagles Club.
The countdown was fun and we were able to kiss TWICE...celebrating Eastern AND Central Times!!
Since the 1st of the year we have been planning trips to all of our families.
Looks like the closest Houston trip is in February when we hope to make it to Justin's friend's wedding.
New York should be in April when I head East to help pack and organize my childhood home.
And a definite plan to visit New York in October, helping Mom & Dad move to Florida which I hope turns into a 2nd honeymoon with my hunnie bunnie!!

Now back to the present!!
Still no job but this time our rental house is feeling more like our home than any other place we have ever lived in. Each day goes by and I am able to make this feel cozier and ours.
Our baby hounds are still spoiled rotten & cuddly and drooly & stinky!!
We celebrated our 3rd anniversary of adopting our Boo-Boo on New Years Eve.
He's still a big goof and we hope that we can have him in our lives for many more years!

Well, not much else to do besides hope you guys all have a GREAT year as well!!

I believe that this is going to be OUR year!!

GB,
Sarah, Justin, Jennie & Brewster

LONG DAY.....

Late at nite after every one has headed to bed and I just cannot seem to keep my eyes closed, I find myself thinking about friends (old & new), family, and our future...
Some times I cannot stop myself from smiling and other times, like this evening I cannot stop the tears from falling...who ever said that life gets easier when we get older was lying!!
Things are more complicating & you cannot run for cover under your mother's wing...

Moments like right now all I want to do is crawl into my mom's lap and have her protect me from hurting.
It seems like no matter what I do it just isn't right.
