I have made a few changes in 2011. The two biggest are that I am back in school and I left my job after 6 years. I am now going to a university called Ashford. I am taking online classes and love it. I take one class at a time for five weeks each. I have finished 9 classes already and now I am on my 10th one. I am doing pretty good in my classes I have a 2.77 GPA right now. I am going for business, and plan on being done in August of 2013! It is a lot different than what I have been doing. For the past six years I have worked in a nursing home as a nurses aid. I left in October for two reason, one because of some health issues and it was becoming to hurt on my emotions. I was having some issues with my legs, back, neck, and arms hurting. The pain stopped for awhile after I left the nursing home but now have started back. I am not sure what is happening but I do think it has something to do with my nerves, I am planning to go see a doctor. It really become a problem when I started to fear that I was going to hurt someone because I could not lift people any more without pain. I also started having isssues dealing with the people passing away. The last few that passed hit me the hardest. I started having painc attacks because of them and it really made it hart to do my job. I do miss everyone from the nursing home it really was like another family. But I do enjoy my time with Dakota.
Miss Dakota is getting so big! She is learning so much and is so smart. She has learned her numbers to 11 and her colors. She is trying to learn her letters. She is on the go from the time she gets up until she hits the bed! She really enjoyed 2011! She was really into the hoildays this year, all of them! She did not want me to make her halloween costume this year so we went with the walmart Batgirl costume. I had a hard time letting that go. She loved eating all the great food at Thanksgiving and really got into giving this year. She learned about how there are children and adults that are not as blessed as she is and that it is nice to give to them so that they could enjoy their Thanksgiving and Christmas. For Christmas this year she really like the lights. We went many times to see Christmas lights and santa. We live in a small town where we do a Tree Lighting night downtown. It was a lot of fun and a great ways to kick off the hoildays. We went with my mom, sister, and my neice and nephews. They all had so much fun. They even met the Reidsville magic elf and got to help light the tree downtown. She also learned more about the true meaning of Christmas. So this year she was only got three gifts from Santa. She still go so much but this year she really got to understand what Christmas meant. She is really enjoying learning about Christ. I am enjoying teaching her all kind of new things.
Our family is trying a few new things this year and I know it is going to work for us. We are going to pay off some debt so that we can ensure of furture of ourselfs and for Kota. The hubby and I are starting a new thing where we go a date night at least once a month. So far we have had fun doing this. I have been finding some great ideas on www.pinterst.com, I love that site. As for this blog I am going to keep writing as if someone is reading. I am going to be sharing how things are going with my girl and the family. I will also be sharing craft ideas and letting you know how they turn out.
Well, so if anyone is reading Happy 2012. I know that this year is going to bring great things for my family!!!
