Love Marriage

I know by now everyone might be sick of the resolution type posts but I want to have my goals for 2018 noted here that way I can have a quick place to reference when I need a reminder.

I traveled to new places and created new memories, both good and bad. I loved on my family, friends, fur-babies and my husband. I lived. Here�s my recap of 2016; the year that nearly broke me. JANUARY Started off pretty good as I celebrated the soon arrival of my dear friend's daughter. And before I knew it I was spending 12 days in the hospital. I still did manage to keep a smile on my face. FEBRUARY When Sean's birthday rolled around, I was not allowed to drive (or lift over 10 lbs) so I reached out to my girlfriends to see if they had any ideas of what I could do at home for Sean that did not involve me driving or moving about.
