I am due with my first child on March 3rd, 2011 and I am also in the Army Reserves. Every 5 years, a reserve unit should be put on the deployment list. We just got put on the list about 2 months ago. Becase I am pregnant, I am not on the first round of people to go, but after I have her, I will be put on the list. I did go overseas in 2005, but I was single and had nothing holding me back. I am trying to keep my head up and hope they do not call me up, but I already have the experience, so I understand if it do.

ReplyDeleteMy resolution is to be more grateful and appreciate the life I have. I'm always wanting more but once I get it, it never makes me happier.

I'm so blessed with the things the Lord has given me and I just want to be more appreciative of all of that.
ReplyDeleteWith graduation coming up, my resolution is to take advantage of everyday and spend less time worrying about the future.

I'm getting married this year and there's so many contests I could sign up for. I might win. If not a prize then definitely a more hopeful and positive outlook on life and myself.

ReplyDeleteMy New Years resolution is learn to love my job again. I work as a veterinarian technician and the longer I work there the more disgusted i get by it. Something about ticks jumping on me and biting me just doesn't make me smile, Fecal, urine and blood have become a part of my daily wardrobe. I love helping save animals lives and I love being able to make a difference in peoples (owners) lives; so I know this is what I want to continue to do with my life.. I just have to find my passion in loving the small/ disgusting things again.
ReplyDeleteMy new years resolution is to find myself. I am a new mother of a fairly new, 5 month old, baby girl! She consumes the majority of my time, of course, ALL children do! I would like to find the new me! There are a lot of changes when you become a mother, many more than women realize when they are planning on a family or even pregnant! I am a completely different woman, with many different views and values! I plan on it being a very positive resolution!

ReplyDeletesorry for deleting the earlier post!
ReplyDeleteso i dont know if i qualify for this or not since i live in pakistan but i thought i'd give it a try cause it's very hard to find a good tote bag over here!!

Also to learn to believe that just cause my father abandoned us doesn't mean that every man is like that but also to never be dependent on one and to finish my studies and start working within this year so i can help my mom with the finances.
