Let us recap our chaotic year of 2011...
January 2011, we had a few *deaths* in our neighborhood and thought it best if we moved to keep Dylan and I out of that situation. We started searching for a new home. My job at Bay West was making me crazy with an unruly office manager and ungrateful coworkers so I quit my job to save my sanity. We started being beach bums early this year, and were spending every weekend and days off at the beach enjoying the sun and the sand a few drinks too!
February 2011, we were able to look at a few properties that we liked and hoped that by talking to our current landlord we would be able to get out of our lease. Once off the lease we had to start cleaning and preparing the home for new tenants. By the end of the month we had signed a lease on a property owned by an asshole of a polish man named RICHARD SIKORSKI. I also started a new job at another crummy chiropractic office, turns out they are all ungrateful to their massage therapists.
March 2011, Dylan turned 3!!! We made amazing friends in our new next door neighbors and Rafal was working full time on a home renovation. We bought baby chicks and a 4-Wheeler.
April 2011, Rafal celebrated his birthday and the very next day our home we were renting flooded with sewage and we were then homeless for a week and a half..
May 2011, An angel by the name of Michelle allowed our family to rent her empty one bedroom beach condo from them for as long as we needed and we moved to Indian Rocks Beach and enjoyed the "good life" for as long as we could.
June 2011, Rafal was offered a job he couldn't refuse which meant we needed to move closer to Clearwater, a 1.5hr commute was just too much! We signed a lease at an apartment complex in Palm Harbor.
July 2011, I started discussing my school options and wanting to go back to college and Rafal was working 50+ hour weeks!
August 2011, I celebrated my golden birthday, with what still to this day I am calling my best birthday ever! We spent a week on Anna Maria Island with my sister and her two boys and it was magical!
September 2011, we added a new member to our family, a four legged furry friend we call Marley.
October 2011, Dylan dressed up like spiderman for Halloween and mommy and daddy got to go out and dress up in our costumes as our FIRST Halloween spent together in 3 years!
November 2011, Uncle Ski & Momo had birthdays this month as well as a wonderful Thanksgiving too! Thanksgiving was spent with our dearest friends and family, Veronica and Darryl and their family at their beautiful home!
December 2011, we visited Chattanooga, TN for a wonderful long weekend with Dominique and her boys at the Choo Choo Train Hotel! And we found out we are expecting a NEW member of our family in August of 2012!!!
What a wonderfully CRAZY year we have had!! We moved not once, not twice, but THREE times! We had to find new homes for our pets that we love so much, but gained another 6-7months later. We have grown in our relationships and love like we never thought possible. AND we are growing our family by one more.
Rafal & I both believe 2012 will be our best year yet....
Thank you God for your daily blessings in our lives, we are ever so thankful for your wisdom, and guidance!
