It's gonna be a happy new year!

It's the first day of 2011 and it's off to a decent start so far. 2010 was not a good year for us, financially. We really struggled in that area, but money definitely isn't everything. I accomplished a lot in 2010 and had so many wonderful things happen.

I got my home daycare business up and going and licensed, so I'm able to stay home with Tristan. I love spending so much time with him and watching him learn and grow. I love my job too, and I don't think there are many people who can say that these days.

Robbie and I have been together for 4 years now. Our marriage was a little rocky in 2010, but we pushed through all of the financial and business struggles we endured and we're still madly in love. I can't imagine life without my hubbie.

Robbie is going to start a new job next week! It's at a company called Carlisle Syntec here in Tooele. He'll be a Production Line Operator. Basically, the same thing he is doing now, only he will be working 3 miles from home, getting a pay raise, and full benefits for our family. What a great way to start 2011! I am so proud of him.

As far as resolutions go, there are a few things I would like to do differently this year. First on the agenda, I need a major personality makeover. I have become really bitchy, mean, bitter, easily angered, and just all around unpleasant lately. I have pretty much turned into everything I hate. I don't know why this happened or how, but I really do want to change. I hate that I have become so horrible and that I have pushed all of my friends away. No one wants to be around me and I don't really blame them.

I used to be so vibrant, fun, smiling, laughing, full of life! It's like the fire I had burning in my heart was put out. It's not even smoldering anymore, it's just done burning all together. I'm hoping to rekindle my heart and get the old Sunny back, if my friends and family will even talk to me anymore.

In 2011, I want to take more time for me. In 2010, I put so much focus and energy into Tristan and Rising Sun Fun Care that my marriage, friends and family, and me time got put on the back burner. No matter how busy I get, I'm going to make sure I set some time aside every week to spend with the people that love me the most, and take care of myself too.

My last resolution is to make a gratitude list. Every day this year, I am going to list one thing I am grateful for, so I will have a list of 365 things to remind me of how lucky I really am. I have had a negative attitude and outlook on life recently, and I'm going to turn that around. It's time to start appreciating what I have right now and stop wishing for more, more, more! I have a feeling that I will be much happier once I realize how much I really have in this life.

Happy new year, everyone! I hope 2011 brings you all health, wealth, and happiness!
