2008 was definitely one of the hardest for me. A lot of money and marriage problems, and to make matters worse we lost our home and have been living with my parents since July. We tried back in August to get a place of our own but that just didn't work out either. Not that it's all bad living with my parents, but it's just nice having a place to call your own. I miss my quiet house and of course my husband and I's privacy. I miss all the space that I used to have. I just miss my house. Whenever I pass by the street I still seem to get really nostalgic and oh so sad. So sad about what we lost. But then again I have to wake up and be glad that we even have a place to live, and like I've said before, it can so much worse. I'm happy that my parents we there to take us in during this hard time.
I'm optimistic about 2009. I have to be. Where else is there for to go but up right? Here are my goals/hopes for 2009:
* Get in a routine of going to the gym to get my pre-baby body back (or as close as I can get it)
* Spend more time with my family
* Apply and get into nursing school
* Get a handle on my finances
* Read as many books as I can get my hands on
* Catch up on a year's worth scrapbooking I missed out on while I was study so hard for school
* Move out of my parents house
Something that's great that came out of 2008 is that I realized that I'm a much more capable person than I give myself credit for. I found out just yesterday that I got an A in Microbiology. That's such a big deal because every person I spoke to before I took the class could only give me a cringe, a big sigh or a "GIRL, that was the hardest class for me!" when I asked them how Micro was for them. Honestly it scared me. I had no idea how my brain would be able to handle such a huge information overload. But along the way I said to myself "What's all the hype about?" I found myself getting A's on all of my exams, and assignments, which I found odd because I've never considered myself to be "smart." I try as hard as my body, mind and other responsibilities allow, which usually gets me to about B level. But this time around something inside me drove me to want more. I read my textbook and studied every chance I got. I'm happy to say that I came out victorious.

I'm going to try my best to control my stress and just be happy. Coz in the end I think that's really what everyone wants in life.
