A New Year!

Well tax season is upon us again here in the Brown home. where does the time go? I guess I'm really just not the writer that my husband is. I find it hard to get on here to update friends and family. It is a goal of mine to write at least once a month this year and beings that it's the start of the last week in January I best get to writing or typing as the case my be.
This month has been crazy with work already. It seems to be busier at work then it was last year at this time. I'm looking forward to the next couple of weeks because it seems once the W2's and 1099 statements are received the calls start coming in for appointments. I love the rush of staying busy at work. I don't mind the late nights at all but that could have something to do with the fact that I get out of having to cook dinner every night. I love that Kayla and Erik both take such good care of me during this time of year. I feel a little guilty sometimes that I don't do enough paying back during the off season; that's something I have to work on this year.
I have so much to look forward to this coming year. Kayla has been getting her college applications turned in; which has Erik worried about finances and how we are going to pay for her to go to college. I on the other hand am not too worried about it I know things will work out. I have faith that my prayers will be answered. Maybe it comes from having so much more now in life then when I was struggling as a single mom for most of Kayla's life. Really it's because I'm a glass half full person and can always see the plus side to things. I get that from my dad.
Speaking of my dad it's been 15 years this month that he passed away. I find myself thinking about him more lately. Remembering the little things that made him so special to me and knowing in my heart that he is happy in the choices I have made the past few years. I see myself becoming more like him, but also knowing I have a long way to go before I'm as good at giving of myself and time as he was. I miss him so much.
So to recap this year I want to work on staying in touch more with friends and family by posting on here once a month and serving others especially Erik and Kayla.
