{A new year}

2013 is here.

 

And with it, it brought a renewed high insurance deductible that starts all over.  A good look at our budget that needs to be Dave Ramsey-ified, and student loans that seem to be never ending.  Frozen water pipes from the freezing cold weather that we've been having (we are on day 3 of frozen pipes.  we get cold water on and off.  but we have no hot water in the kitchen or laundry room-the dishes are starting to pile up....).  A messy house that still has christmas decorations looming that need to be put away.  And a car that although has been an awesome one, is nickel and diming us on a regular basis.

 

With that being said.  2013 has also brought us together with my family in Idaho for a week.  It brought with it a church time that starts at 11 a.m.  And kids that are off track for another 2 weeks.  I have a healthy baby who is showing no signs of sickness (hallelujah).  It means killer deals on after christmas items-hello Reses' Peanut Butter Cups!  It's a fresh start on eating healthy and getting into shape.  Setting new goals and striving to become a better person. 

 

Even though there is always bad, there is always good too.  May we all strive to turn the negatives into positives no matter how grim. 

 

2013  bring it!
