I moved to Northwest Arkansas which was a very positive move for me. I love it here because it really is beautiful and there is so much to do. I've been blessed this year to go on several "adventures" with Josh. Here is a picture of us (one of my absolute favorite pictures) on one of these adventures:
I got a job working in a Christian counseling agency which is really something I love. This really is one of the first jobs where I actually love what I'm doing. I've recently got another job that I'm really thankful for that I'm sure is going to stretch me in many ways. I'm a firm believer that God doesn't make mistakes so I know that he has me at these jobs for a reason.
I've learned a lot this past year mostly about marriage and my husband. It's had it's difficult moments but also it's wonderful moments. I've always known that marriage can be hard and takes work but I think I was surprised at just what parts would be the hardest. Is it worth it? Absolutely! I wouldn't change this past year (even the harder parts of it) because I've learned things through these things and feel like I'm trying to grow from them.
So, what's in store for 2011? I really have no idea. If I could pick I would chose that Josh gets a job where he can be home more, that he likes and that pays enough money to help us pay our bills. I would chose that we could move closer to town so that we could save money on a mortgage, gas for cars and time (I currently drive an hour to work one way everyday). I would probably also pick to start a family this year once some of the above listed things get worked out. Will these things work out the way I want them to? I don't know. What I do know is that I have a God who already has a plan set out for my life this year and I trust this His plan is better than mine. I have a husband who loves me and is my best friend. I have family and friends that I'm so thankful for. I'm blessed in so many ways (of which I don't deserve).
Happy New Year!
