It's been awhile since I blogged on this Blog...so it's time to play catchup. It's 2012 now which means a New Year and New Resolutions.
But first...let me go over a Re-cap of what happened in 2011:
~It was a rough year at first, we lost a beautiful woman to Heaven who we ALL miss dearly. June Devine Papillion...my Amazing Mother-in-law who was the most caring and loving person you would've ever met. I thank God everyday for the time I had with her.
~In March we found out a BIG surprise. March 12th to be exact, I took a pregnancy test...and found out I was pregnant with OUR 2nd miracle. We couldn't wait to share with ALL of our family and friends...which didnt' happen until Easter though. We wanted it to be a BIG surprise.
~In June we found out the sex of our baby...and another beautiful girl it was. Devine June...named after my Mother-in-law. =)
~In July...I went on Terminal Leave from the U.S. Navy and when August 16th rolled around I was no longer E-5...I was Mrs. Papillion, Fran, FranJessca, etc.
~In September...Alexia started first grade and is proved to her Kindergarten teachers...she is doing well in first grade...not only well...but exceeding in her grade level. =)
~In November, we welcomed our 2nd daughter, Devine June. Alexia was the most excited and happy BIG sister ever.
~In December...hubby got news about his JOB...which made us change our minds about moving to other state. We decided just a couple more years in VA...wouldn't be so bad...especially we didn't want to leave our friends/family just yet, up here.
Now it's 2012...which means it's a whole different year. It seems 2011 was mine for the taking. So many good things happened towards the middle of the year for me. So this year is for my husband...he deserves a TERRIFIC year, which I know he will. His job is taking off and he's even decided to open up his Hypnosis Business.
This Mama of course is going to start taking courses online with UMUC. I'm majoring in English since it's my dream to write my own novels later on in life.
I'm going to also take some Photography courses online. The Art Institute was just not feasible in my life at the time due to enjoying every minute of taking care of my two girls. I'm really enjoying being a STAY at HOME MOM. I love every minute of making sure my oldest is on the bus to school, volunteer at her school, make sure she gets off the bus in the afternoon, take care of things around the house, while also taking care of the youngest.
I've achieved so much for my baby girl, Devine. It's been almost 2 months...and I'm still proudly breastfeeding my Devine June.
I've lost 21 lbs...most of it lost the first week after I had my 2nd baby girl. My goal is to lose the last 8 lbs in the next 2 months and also get back to my exercise regime. I'm ready to start taking up running at a slow pace of course.
Now you know one of my New Year's Resolutions...so what are my others...
~Spend quality time with my family since the Navy prevented me for so long
~Read 100 books
~Continue my College Education
What is everyone else's Resolutions and what are you looking forward to this year? =)
