The beginning

This is the beginning. The beginning of a New Year, a new me, a new blog. Ok, well this is the first blog I have ever written. Well perhaps first I should explain why I am starting a blog. My life has changed so much in the past year. I have celebrated my first anniversary with my wonderful husband, I have had a baby, I have moved to Carrollton from Douglasville, then back to my home town of Hiram. With all of the new things happening everyday, I have decided I want to keep track of what is happening in my life.

So, let's start with some new things for this year. I have made quite a few resolutions this year. 1.) I want to be a better mommy. I am still learning about motherhood and balancing my life and everyday presents new triumphs, new struggles, new joys, new hardships. But through all of it, I want to be the best mom I can be. I love my darling Xoe Grace and want to always be the best I can be for her. 2.) I want to complete my 2nd and 3rd semesters of college. I currently am taking online classes at Western Governors University online and I am enjoying feeling accomplishment and success as I go through my courses. 3.) I want to grow spiritually. This seems like an obvious thing, but I really am having a difficult time balancing all of this. I am going to read my Bible during nap times, even if that means I don't get a nap or a shower that day. 4.) I want to minimize my debt. I am trying to pay everything on time and get caught up to where I should be. 5.) I guess would be that I want to be a better wife. I want to be more patient (which Jason would tell you is definitely my weakness!)

I think in general I just want this year to really be different. I am 22 and things are starting to get hectic in our lives. We have a child, jobs, marriage, a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, sleep, money, time, etc. that we have to learn to balance. I have to be different this year! I know I can do it!!
