2010, you're so nice

It's been awhile since I've blogged and figured tonight would be a good time...
With good comes bad and with bad comes good. My uncle, my mom's brother, died the day after Easter this year. I know it's been a pretty rough time for my family. Needless to say it's been bittersweet. With the passing of my uncle, my family and I have realized that life is too short to be holding hatred, anger, and resentment towards one another. He was the thread to mend my family back together and I think that's the way he would want it. My mom and I are now talking and we both really want to work things out. I don't want to have kids who only know one set of grandparents, I want them to not only know both of them but love both of them. It's like this 500 pound weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I know it sounds really cliche, but it's so true. I miss my family, my friends, and my hometown. My parents are thrilled just as much as I am. I'm going to be visiting in mid July! Mostly to see family because it will be a short visit,but I'm sure I can squeeze in a lunch or something with my friends.
At the beginning of the year, I knew it would be a good year. I had a really good feeling. And you know what? It's been pretty darn nice to me and to those I love. Several of my friends are pregnant, I have my family back, work is good, Brandon's company is doing well, and I think this will be the year for Brandon and I to finally start a family. It's not so foggy for me anymore. Things are starting to look up for me and I have Heavenly Father to thank for that. He does know what's best for me in my life and he knows me. After all, he is my father. :) I'm greatful for everything that I have and I'm actually enjoying my job now. Well, I think I'll end here. I have to be at the Relay for Life at 2am so it's time to take a nap. Peace out...
