Goodbye 2017....

I'll be honest I have mixed emotions about this year coming to an end.  This year has been filled with so many ups and downs.

- Making plans to move to another country

- Getting diagnosed with breast cancer

- Having to cancel our plans to another country

- Having to move so we can be closer for my treatments

- Atleigh starting kindergarten

- Tristan starting preschool

- Tristan turning 2

- Atleigh turning 6

- Me turning 40!

More ups, but the one big downer has seemed to consume the year.  Our lives changed forever on May 12, 2017.  Since that date we have faced harder decisions than I ever thought we would, but so far we have made it through.  It's been hard on all of us and I don't know that it will get any easier, but we are here, and we are together, so bring on 2018!

I just read a post that said, "No more making everything perfect so we can be happy.  We will just be happy so everything will feel perfect!"  Yes!  I needed to read this.

Happy New Year!  I hope you have an amazing 2018!
