A New Year. :)

When this year began, I knew it would be a difficult one.  Because of that we decided to have as much fun together as we could before Johnny left. :)  I've been learning that holidays are just days and it will only hurt being alone on those days if I let it hurt.  I've also been learning that I'm stronger than I thought I was.
As a this next year begins, it holds a lot of promise for me.  Johnny will be home in time for our anniversary this year.  I'll be turning 30 in March so this year will also be setting the tone for my 30s a little bit.  I want my 30s to be optimistic with more energy and peace than my 20s.  I can hardly believe I'm this old already.  It doesn't feel like it.  I want to enjoy my life, not worry it away.
I do have a few resolutions.  I don't usually make any, but I like having goals. :)  I want to keep working on losing weight and having a healthier lifestyle.  I want to branch out more here and try to make more friends.  And I want to continue my goal never to let fear make my decisions for me. =)
I also am going to try to visit Utah for my birthday.  It's been too long since I've seen my friends and family there.  I realized fear was a lot of why I hadn't been back and that I shouldn't let that stop me.  :D
I'm really looking forward to this year.  ^_^  I think a lot of good is waiting for me.
