Happy New Year

I can not believe that it is already 2016. Where did 2015 go? It was a very good year and a sad year also.  I will write the sad parts. Losing family members was  very hard. First it was a uncle and then other uncle both of them was my mother's brothers. That was very hard. One was very unexpected. The second one it was kind of unexpected but not completely. We did have time to process that he was sick.  Second Mike last a great aunt. And then we lost a aunt, she was my dad's sister. She had been in and out of the hospital for like a month. The last time she went to the hospital she wasnt able to come out. Well I guess you can say she did but not in the way we all wanted her to. So that was the sad part of the year.
The good part of the year was the adoption process and our Jelly Bean being born and watching her grow the last 5 months. Yes, the adoption process was stressful (but not the part of the Jelly Bean. Just the money part of the adoption process.) It was a struggle coming up with the money to pay for it all. It still is a struggle trying to get things back to where we are not late on some of bills but we would not change any of it for nothing in the world because we have our beautiful daughter.
I did not get all my 2015 bucket list accomplished but I am going to work on a 2016
Lets see things that I am going to put on my bucket list for this year

1. take photo every day for the whole year
2.  exercise every day
3.  break a bad habit
4.  give up sweets for a whole month (and hopefully beyond that lol. Starting this one now)
5.  make time for myself. There was times that I did not have time to do what I loved to do last year as we was getting use to being a family of three. (still getting use to it).
6.  give up soda for 30 days. Need to pick a month to do this one
7.  try to read at least 10 books this year
8.  spend a entire day watching disney movies
9.  have tech free day ( this is one that I didnt accomplish last year but going to this year)
10.   I would love to go to disney world again this year but it will be okay if we dont
11.  eat healthier
12.  grow my hair back out and dont ever cut it short again
13.  stick to my fitness plan
14.  do a good deed
15.  watch the sunset and rise at the beach
16.  go for hikes more
17.  stop eating fast food for a month (and maybe longer if I can do it)
18.  learn to accept myself for who I am and not what I think I should be and what others think I should be. Accept my faults and learn to move on from things.

There is probably more I could add to this list but I can not think of them at the moment. I hope I can do these things at least some of the things.
We hope you all have a wonderful year. I hope it brings you joy and peace.
