I know I've been posting excessively. But I thought writing about all of the good things that have happened in the past year might boost my mood a bit, or at least temporarily take my mind off of all the bad stuff going on right now.
2011 was a really good year.
It was yet another year I started and completed clean and sober, and that always feels good. I view it as a huge accomplishment every year, no matter how much time passes. Hell, not just every year...every month, every week, every day. Now I usually think about it at every six month increment though. As of today (since it's past midnight), I have 4 years and 10 months clean and sober. Pretty good!
B came to live with us and became a part of our family in 2011. It was a huge blessing for everyone involved. I am so thankful to have him in my life, and I know he feels the same way. I'm so glad that I'm able to help him, but he helps me a lot too. It has turned out to be a really good arrangement. I love him like a brother, and I'm so proud of him.
Overall, 2011 was a great year for Jenny and me. It didn't end well at all, but most of the year was great. Regardless of the shit that's going on right now, I am so happy to have her in my life. It feels amazing to be engaged to the love of my life. I'm looking forward to having many, many, many more great years with her.
Jenny getting pregnant made me SO incredibly happy. That's an understatement. After that last miscarriage and her endometriosis, I was afraid that we might not be able to have another baby. I would have been happy with just Evan, but we both really wanted another baby. I was amazed at how quickly Jenny got pregnant after her surgery. It happened right away. I am SO happy and thankful that this pregnancy is going well. It sucks that she had so many problems for a while in the beginning, and that was really scary, but since then everything has been going so well. I'm really grateful that Jenny and the baby are both healthy. Finding out that Jenny was pregnant was SUCH an amazing thing. I really can't wait for my little girl to be here.
So yeah, overall, 2011 was a really good year. I hope that 2012 will be just as great. I can't wait until May, when the baby will be here! I'm REALLY looking forward to that part of the year. :)
