Hello 2009

Happy New Year. I cannot believe it is 2009 already. I remember in 1999 when everyone was freaking out about the world ending in 2000. What did they call it? I forgot. Anyway, look at us now, 9 years later holding strong.

I started my journey of ttc in Jan/Feb 2007 at age 28. In 13 days, I will be turning 30. I had a lot of reservations about turning 30. In my mind I had set all of these goals and felt like a complete failure for not accomplishing all of them. I've bought a home, finished grad school, started a private practice two years earlier than planned and paid off my car. So ironically I've accomplished a lot so I'm not that much of a failure but sometimes these internal messages need rewiring. After talking with some people thirty and up, I've been told that there is nothing to worry about and that it only gets better. I sure hope so because although I'm grateful for my health, home, and family, these past two years have been crap.

So with 2009, I am calling into existence great things. These include continuing to build my practice, looking into getting certified as a Marriage and Family Therapist, getting back to my pre-ttc weight, strengthening my core muscles, saving more money, taking Danielle to Europe, and finally...getting pregnant/starting a family.

To all of my readers, I want to thank you for following me on this roller coaster ride and I wish all of you a happy and healthy new year.
