A new year! A new...wait.

New Year's eve couldn't have come soon enough last year. That was last year right? The prospect of a new year and putting the past behind was almost exhilarating. I was going to make an awesome dinner, we'd celebrate with appetizers and martinelli's and go out on our ritual New Year's Day adventure with the Adams clan.

In case you forgot, half of the family was blessed with the stomach bug New Year's eve and day. Hooray for 2014!!

I haven't exercised since the end of November, and I eat when I stress out. So, me-exercise+eating everything=depression and weight gain. To sum it up, I'm a hot mess. And the funny part? Well, there isn't one. I know that someday things will return to normal (or at least better than now) and I can exercise every day and after I'm exercising my eating always returns to a happy place and so does my body. Right now, neither are in a happy place.

Then, we got lice.

I know, I know, this sounds like one of those whiny posts. But I promise, even though 2014 has left nothing to impress, at the same time so much GOOD has been happening. You can't see it, but it has. Wonderful blessings and answers to prayers. It's funny, because a few years ago I would be flipping out over gaining weight. And today? Well, I am at peace about it because I know it won't last. Little by little hard work and persistence will pay off and I can be healthy again. And that's all I really care about now, healthy enough to take care of myself and my family and serve others.  It's a wonderful place to be, in my opinion.

On another note, one of the littles favorite things is walking up to Great Grandma's and Grandpa's, eating all their food, playing with all the toys and then playing on their little tractors. Pure heaven.

And Rodney needs a hair cut so very badly, and I just can't do it! help!

**bonus! my phone got a ton of moisture in it. don't even ask, because I'm clueless. It's currently sitting in a sealed tupperware full of rice. plus, our house phone doesn't work anymore. so yeah! email me : )****
