2012 - How was it for you?

[Ceejay123]

What were the best things that happened to you this year? What would you change if you could go back?

And what do you hope for 2013


Personally I have had an amazing year - I gave birth to my first child which is the most amazing things I could ever imagine. I've watched him grow, I'm thriving at University. My finances are better than I've ever had them before. Family wise I've made up with a lot of family, thrown a lot of family and friends out of my life that I now realise were a waste of space and I'm glad of it all. I've also tried to make amends with people in my life that I misjudged or had petty issues with in the past so that we can all have a better future. I'm learning to trust and put my faith in people and to forgive. All in all i've had an amazing year and I feel so contented that 2012 couldn't have gone any better.

If I could change some things I would - I lashed out at a home wrecker that I maybe should have held my tongue about and ignored. I've been nasty to a few people in the family that pushed me too far, and I gave some of OH's family way too much leway before finally throwing them out of my life. If I could do it all again I'd get rid of them at the very start and stop caring what people think of me. I'd have the guts to tell people that bitch about me to go to hell, and stop caring whether they like me. live for me and my boy



2013 - I hope my family carries on the way it is. I hope me and OH stay as stable as we have been for the last 9 months or so, and I hope my little boys seizures stop or are correctly diagnosed. I hope to continue making amends and to put my trust in people without fear of being betrayed. I hope to have a happy family unit and to carry on thriving with my University work.


How about you guys, reflect on your year! x

I got married to my wonderful husband in April... We had the most amazing honeymoon with our two children... We also found out we are expecting our third child...... We have also done a lot of home improvements to our home too... So all in all a pretty special year

We plan to have a quiet year next year... As much as we can with a new baby.... I am just going to try and be the best mum that I can be....... And try to save as much as we can, so I can have as much time as I can off work to spend with my family.......

It's been an excellent year for us

Financially we are better off than EVER now. Yes, wifey is not available as much as she was before, but we have money at last!

Tegan has done really well in school. Her health has been pretty stable (which is a first for her!)

We went from being in a really bad place in our relationship, to being happier than I ever been in my entire life.

I finally got control of my mental illnesses (well, mostly. A work in progress, but I'm more stable than I remember being)

So all in all, its been a great year. Next year, more of the same please!

Been a weird one but all good for a change! Went back to work, became chair of my neonatal charity, it's been all good all round! A started nursery and I never thought I was gonna see that day!

Oh and I became a mod

 

[Eleanor ace]

2012 has been a good year for me .
We bought our first house and got pregnant with LO number 2 .
There's nothing I can think of that I'd change, nothing that's within my control anyway.

2013- Hopefully we'll have another healthy LO and continue to be happy, healthy and financially stable. I'd like to end 2013 with 2 LO's sleeping through the night

2012 has been utter poo just got gradually worse fingers crossed 2013 will be our year

 

[emyandpotato]

Amazing! I am so happy with my life right now, I am so lucky.

I have started my university course which I absolutely love. I have gotten married, and am planning my wedding for next year, which I never thought I'd do, but now I have a dress and venue so it's becoming very real. I have had my nose done, which I have wanted since I was 13. I now have self confidence for the first time ever. Most importantly I finally plucked up the courage to seek help for depression and now that I am on medication I am happy and calm for the first time in years. I feel that now I have really been able to bond with Rory, my relationship with OH is better, my whole life has completely changed. Oh and my relationship with my parents, particularly my dad, has improved so much. It has been strained since my childhood but everything suddenly seems so much better, it's wonderful.

Pretty good actually! OH graduated from his PGCE and is now working as a teacher in a lovely school, we left Bristol (which I was very sad about) but moved to Brighton and have family close by now, plus the area is lovely so it could be worse! I started my degree with OU in January and my marks have just been getting higher and higher and now I am almost getting firsts which is v. rewarding, I properly got my social life back and it is wonderful to still have so many amazing friends in my life, and we had a really great summer of festivals and camping. Plus Ivy turned into a fully talking, joking little person! I just miss Bristol lots but we only moved to Brighton in July so hoping that we just haven't settled in properly yet!

sadly 2012 had been horrible. 2011 was horrible and I hoped 2012 would be a better year. we had so many things happen, lost job, lost car due to lost job, almost landed on the streets due to lost job, took 4 months to land job, then I got pregnant, then I lost the baby, then my mom had to start chemo again b/c her cancer was spreading. It goes on.

Jan 7 2012 I miscarried my 5th pregnancy 2nd loss. I then got pregnant again in March and sadly my baby's heart stopped in June at 13.2 weeks. My mom had to start more treatment due to her cancer. Its sad but the bad things stick out more then the good.

I am hoping 2013 is a better year, I need a break. I am tired of the same cycle. My family has always struggled as do most but I need that cycle to end. If I don't get pregnant I will be able to go back to work. All my kids will be in school Aug 2013 I can go back to work or start school. I am leaning towards work so we have extra money which really isn't extra money it just means some bills will be on time. I want to better myself I want to be a better mommy, daughter and wife.I am in therapy since I was not dealing with my losses to well but it's not really helping so I think I just need to suck it up and move along with my life which I find so hard to do.

Sorry if my comment is a downer. But 2011 and 2012 were by far the worst years since 2005 when I found out my mom had cancer and 2008 when my hub deployed.

 

[Kerlouet]

2012 has not been so great for Us.I lost my grandmother in April to cancer, my grandad had a heart attack (is ok for now), my BIL had a serious car accident (is getting better now) our house was broken into, my DF lost his Dad in July, I had a miscarriage but at the same time the best thing ever happened to me I got engaged to the most amazing man in October.

So for 2013 we have a good start ahead, we are moving to our new home in January, hope to get pregnant and are getting married in October.

I really hope everyone here has a lovely Christmas and a great 2013

The first half of the year wasnt great to be fair, I was still struggling with my health, still am but its getting better, I had my second MMC we had money worries, trouble with our neighbour which was making my sons life a misery, however my wonderful parents saw all what was going on and treated us to a holiday to visit them in Spain, wonderful friends and family have helped us through, our neighbour got evicted and Lucas' worries all went away, we decided to move out of area so have that to look forward to, all inall the second half of the year has been better

2013, we are moving to a new area so we are really looking forward to that, I have to find a new job looking forward to that challenge as well and hopefully my health will continue to improve so we can finally start trying for a very much wanted second baby

Full of sadness for me.

I'm very sorry about that honey. Do you need to talk? Are you okay? I hope 2013 is your year x

Thanks I'm okay.
Yeah me too! Get married in march so regardless what happens it'll be great because of that. x

2012 Has been pretty crazy! We got married it was a beautiful day and so perfect.

Jacob started pre school which he enjoys.

Hubbys been stressful at work but they got a new radiotherapy machine - which is good news for cancer patients in cornwall and pretty exciting for hubster to work on.

We're probably the happiest we've ever been, more stable and content. So definitely been a good year .

2012 has gone scary fast but it's been an amazing year.

I've had an amazing year with my little girl, I'm so proud of how she coped with the change in childcare settings. Also we got through potty training without to many tears, something I was very nervous about doing.

I got promoted on August, it's been hard work but very much worth it.

It looks like we are going to end 2012 with very happy news too.
