HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Its hard to believe that 2009 is over... Nothing really exciting happened in 2009 with the exception of my new nephew! I went to Ohio to visit that little man and had so much fun! Visting with my little sister and her BF and her new little one was the best...

I know I wrote about how much I hated her BF and what a jerk he was but spending that week with him I swear he is a changed man... The way he was with my little sister and his son was the best thing in the world... It was like whatever happened in the past is in the past and he is looking forward to his future with his son and my sister... He is gearing towards finishing his GED and then in February he will be taking classes to become a CNA... He is excited about doing this and can't wait to get started...

I also was able to spend some individual time with my other 2 sisters and that was alot of fun as well... I think because I had so much fun it was hard to get back into the groove in the real world... As much as I miss my family I know that my choice to move was the best for me... I love my life out in CO so much more... The atmosphere in my old town of Ohio is not what I want anymore... I swear people are more depressed out there due to the economy and the downfall of businesses there... Driving along the streets of that town and seeing empty buildings that just 5 years ago were booming with business is depressing... People make due out there but its still makes me feel helpless for my family that still lives there... I guess that I want so much more for myself and my own family that seeing all the dismal of my old town makes me appreciate what I have here in CO so much more...

But overall my trip back to Ohio was indeed a success... Seeing my nieces and nephews is always a treat... Each one of them are unique individuals and each of them has a personality that is such a treasure... I miss them all so very much and already I have been checking ticket prices for this summer to go visit again...

Later days
