Starting the year off right!

Wow another year has arrived! 2012 sped by so quick, I can hardly believe its already gone. Last night we got home from a party and it was 11 so Ty and I watched the final episode of the Modern FAmily 1st season and when it was over we realized that we had 2 min before it was midnight! Nice timing! So watched our phones for when the clock struck 12 and then we gave a little smooch and headed off to bed. We are old, staying up to midnight is not our thing anymore. But I think last night was our FIRST New Years kiss! Can you believe it! Every other year we have had major stuff going on that we are just too tired to stay up (2 years had surgeries, exhausted from baby Lucy, sickness). So I will choose to believe that 2013 will be a super lucky year for us since we started it off right!

At least I hope its a lucky one! This year a TON of big/life changing things will be taking place (hence why we need the good luck). We have been applying for jobs for Ty for the past few months and have had no luck. We have 4 months to find a great career before Ty is officially done with school and the job he has now is finished. We have been applying EVERYWHERE, in the world actually. So that means we could potentially be moving as far away as England or as close as Provo. Ty is even taking the Air Force Officer test in a month and we could very well take that course. But come April, whether we have a job or not we officially have to move, time for other siblings to get a chance to live in the greatest condo ever! So we definitely have a move in our forecast, which is super exciting!

This year Ty will forever and always be complete with school!!! That means we will no longer be students!!! That means we can be grown ups and have a grown up job, with a salary, and with benefits, and a regular schedule, and benefits, and a salary, and hopefully NO MORE JOB HUNTING! My poor Ty... He has applied to well over 50 jobs and he hasnt been hired yet. It is so stressful for him and he works SSSOOOOO hard and doing literally everything he can to find someone to give him a chance. We are still hopeful and know that a great opportunity will find its way to us someway, somehow, someday!

In Lucy's year we hope to have her potty trained (we started again yesterday), and also have her thoroughly know her ABC's and numbers. We also have 2 months left of speech therapy and occupational therapy, so we hope to have improvements there as well. We also want to get her into dance or gymnastics.

As far as Im concerned my life should be changing in 9 days. I start hormone therapy. We have found a new route in our hopes to someday bring home another munchkin, and hormone treatment is it! I am really excited for this! From what I have studied and heard, I should feel like a normal person again! I hope that for the first time in 5 years, I will sleep through the night! That alone will change my life! But not only that, I hope that my pre-pubescent acne face will clear up and I can finally drop a few lbs (it is impossible with PCOS and out-raged hormones!). I hope to have more energy, not have a fussy mind, be a nicer (non mama bear) relaxed and chilled out constitution! I hope to get back to ME!!! But the one down side is we have to wait probably 9 months or so before I can get pregnant, bummer, but at least maybe it can happen naturally and we wont have to spend $12,000 for it to maybe happen.  Is this all TMI? Oh well.

This post is forever long. But I am so excited and hopeful for an AWESOME year ahead! I cant wait for all the changes and new things coming our way. Happy New Year everyone!
