2012 Catch up

Wow! I don't even know where to start. As we go into 2013, Anastasia is 4 and AJ is 1. Blue is home with them during the day while I go to work at an insurance company. I have a great job with a great company. I would say we are good for each other. Just to catch up - AJ was born March 6, 2011. She came home to a house with no job, car, internet and on the verge of foreclosure, but she came home to a house of love. We lost power from SDG&E somewhere in there, but stuck it out and wouldn't change that still. Loosing my job at 9 months pregnant and the drama that followed was not enough to break my spirit and some of my best memories were during that time. My husband was strong. He would get up in the early morning to get wood for a fire and have pancakes ready for us by the time we woke up. Getting up early only inturrupted his Bible time and it was COLD, so I took advantage of sleeping in until Anastasia (or the baby when she was born) would get up. I learned who really cared about me and my family as we went through the most trying and financially difficult time of our lives. I will never forget who reached out to us then. We moved into an apartment with Bridgett in June (on her Birthday) when AJ was only 3 months old and carpooled to work for a year. I enjoyed having her there and things were usually great. Anastasia would watch her get ready from the bathroom door while she sat on her bathroom counter doing her makeup. I would occanionaly have to scold her for getting into her Aunt Bridgett's things, but it was pretty cute to see her in her aunties heals and eye shadow. Kids need me - so off I go to help with a puzzle and pick up the change the baby got to.
