It's a new year

I know this probably isn't that weird to you guys, but I've now been back in Longview for a year now and I've been blogging on this thing for a year! I seriously can't believe that! I'm proud of myself keeping up with the blogging world and hope to continue as long as I can.

When Leven and I first moved here I really thought a D-I-V-O-R-C-E was about to take place between the two of us. It was extrememly hard on the both of us. Leven was adjusting to the new job, town, people and I was searching for a new job and Taydem a daycare! Trever left all his friends in Mexia and was worried he wouldn't fit in here. We were living with my sister (that actually turned out ok!) and driving an hour every day to work (which we really got spoiled in Mexia with the driving situation) and gas was not cheap when we first got here. We were also trying to sell our home in Mexia (that we had just bought 2 months earlier) and trying to decide if we were going to buy or build a home here. We prayed and prayed and I'm sure every one else prayed and prayed for it to get better for us. In the end:
- We sold our home in Mexia
- Leven's team tied for 1st in district and he was awarded "East Texas Coach of the Year"
- Taydem LOVES her daycare
- I found a job with wonderful people
- Gas went down
- Trever has made tons of new friends really likes it here
- We just BUILT our first home together with the help of my parents!

All of this within ONE YEAR! I'm glad Leven and I toughed it out. It probably made our relationship stronger. I still have to put up with his negativity and griping at times and he has to put up with my wining and bossing him around! Ain't life grand!
