This year brings with it a lot of changes for me. I've been a stay at home Mommy for a while now. This will no longer be the case starting Jan 10th. The thought of somebody else caring for my children and seeing them do or say something for the first time truly breaks my heart. I will miss being with them all the time. But life brings all sorts of changes and challenges into our lives, and we have to push through them and try to learn from the experience. Being a SAHM has been a wonderful experience, and I will cherish it forever.
My new chapter in life will be great, too though. I have an opportunity to do something wonderful and kind for my husband. He has provided for our family through thick and thin. He has been so amazing to me and our children. The least I can do is make one small sacrifice to improve his quality of life. So I am leaving my comfort zone, and venturing out into the world. I'm going to college with him. It seems so strange that all my friends from high school are just now finishing their education and here I am starting mine. Well, sort of. I was in the army and I was an air traffic controller. So in a way, I guess I'm just furthering my education. Either way, I will probably be amongst the older generation of college students.
Another interesting change will be not having any babies in our house for a while. Mike and I feel like the best way to succeed in college is to put that part of our lives on hold. I've been surrounded by diapers, bottles, and baby barf for a while. While it's a little sad that I won't have a baby to rock in my arms and cuddle and coo with, it will be really great to have a break.
I've set a lot of goals for this year. Most of them will likely be forgotten within a few weeks, but the number one most important goal is to be a better, more supportive wife to my husband. I want him to know how much he means to me and how grateful I am for him, and for all of his sacrifices. I feel like if I can just accomplish this one goal, then all the others will fall into place.
Well, I hope everyone has a beautiful 2011. I love you guys and miss you so very much!

You gotta stop talking about being a better wife. You are already ten times a better wife than me. Then you talk about needing to improve and you make me feel bad! But seriously you are a great wife and mother and you're gonna do great this year. Good luck
Thank you Lauren. You are always so sweet to me. I really appreciate the vote of confidence. But don't forget that you are a great wife as well. We all have our strengths and weaknesses in our marriages.
