The last few years of the "aughts" were definitely some of the hardest times of my life and probably the hardest times I will ever have, but it has all been worth it. I do not regret anything that has happened and know that everything has happened for a reason. I think back to so many moments where I could have done or chosen something different. I'm sure glad I didn't. I'm thankful for the choices I've made in my adult life so far and thankful for the mistakes I have made and learned from and grown stronger because of. Most of all I am so happy to be a mother to the two greatest, happiest, sweetest, most beautiful children ever. I sit here today December 31, 2009 - the end of an amazing decade and can honestly say that I am happy. Life is good and I look forward to the next decade and to this new year 2010.
Happy New Year everyone!!!
