2011!

It is still so hard to believe that we are already near the end of December and only a week away from Christmas. Where has 2011 gone? It feels like just a short time ago last year that I was finishing up all of my classes and that was already a year ago. It feels like as I get older time is starting to go more and more faster.
With only a week away from Christmas I still have a lot to do and prepare. I have only purchased a few Christmas presents so far for my children, so I really need to get on it. This time of year is always a stressful time of year for me because it is coming to the end of the semester and preparing for the holidays. I have been working a lot of hours at my job, so it has been a struggle trying to balance school, family, and Christmas preparation. I plan to get it all done by Thursday. I have three papers to work on and a few assignments, work, Christmas decorating, Christmas shopping, present wrapping, grocery shopping, and cleaning the house. I am confident that I will succeed and get it all accomplished!
I would have to say that I have had a very successful year in 2011 because I completed my freshman year of college, I got a job, and I finally moved into a nice place to live. As always I got to spend the year with my beautiful family which is my whole world!
I hope that 2012 is just of great as a year and even better!
Happy Holidays & Happy New Years To Everyone!
