New Year, New Life

Starting over fresh is always good. Jason finished up his time in the Army in December after almost 4 years...crazy how the time flew by (but then again sometimes it didn't!). I have been working in Ft Worth since October at a new skilled nursing facility and I love it. The people and patients there are great (well, some of them). Jason will be starting school at UTA on Jan. 17th. He's taking history, psychology, biology, and anatomy to finish up his kinesiology degree. He wants to get into PT school after that. I'm proud of him for going back to school. School is hard enough, but going back takes motivation! In a few years, we'll both be therapists! So if you need speech or physical therapy you can come to our home :)

We are now living in Keller in a quiet neighborhood. I do miss our old home because of all the memories we made, but with a new house in a new city we'll make new friends and new memories! It's starting to feel more like home now that we've gotten the boxes out of the house! So thankful for the military packing our stuff and moving it. I hate that part!

I hate making new years resolutions because I rarely keep them, but I would like to try and improve my life in a few ways. Jason and I are looking for a church home and would like to be more involved in going to church more often. This past year we were always out of town and had friends over, so it was hard to consistently attend church. We are also looking to get into better shape (as is everyone I'm sure). I have been going to 24 hr fitness the past 3 months and am loving the classes. Now that Jason is here I'm excited to have a workout partner and someone to keep me accountable. I always think of the phrase that my cycling teacher says "What are you willing to do to be in the best shape of your life?" I like to think of that as not only physical shape, but mental and spiritual as well.

Hope everyone has set goals for the new year and is thankful for the life they are given! Many blessings!
