So I am about a week overdue, but I thought this year was definitely worthy of reflecting on since so many things changed. So here goes; 2011 started off slow and steady we had one event for Livingston Lures in January with no travel required and began to focus. We hosted anniversary parties, baby showers, a trip to Az, family reunion in Maine, my beautiful nephew made his way into this world, birthdays and dinners. I felt a huge sense of change.. something was happening, this overwhelming feeling of go out and get it came over me. And that is just what I did. At the end of February I started a job that I couldn't have dreamed up. My brother in law hired me to come and help with some project in his oil and gas company. Wow.. what an experience. But I had no clue what was in store for me. A couple of weeks after I started this new endeavor, a business friend and acquaintance was loosing his Operations manager and wanted to know if I was interested. Only God could orchestrate something this wonderful!! I have not worked outside of our own company in 2 years and NEVER would except just any job. The beginning of the best thing EVER! As the dust settled this year, 2011 had turned into this magnificant change of lifestyle. But still got better. The end of September we found out the most amazing, nerve racking, mind altering, greatest news I have ever gotten. We are going to be parents... a baby will be born May 2012... OUR baby girl! And as October came and went, my husband, and partner forever came to work for the amazing individual who now employs us BOTH. This duo is now back under the same business roof ready to thrive once more. As the year came to a close with all of my favorite holidays, my mind clearer than it has ever been before, my heart as content as I have ever experienced, anticipation leaving me a crazy woman, I can not put into words the pure and utterly insane joy and happiness I have going into this new year. Thank you 2011, you were exactly what I needed to gracefully enter my turn of the century year, you were perfectly imperfect and although this short paragraph gives only a glimpse of what you had placed in our path, I know I will never forget this year, as the year my life was shaken into such a beautifully clear picture.
*** All of my thanks and glory go to GOD.. none of this would ever have fallen where it did without HIS hand in. For my answered and unanswered prayers.. Thank you Lord.. you will continue to get all of my praise forever and ever AMEN!
