Its been a hell of a year for the Cox family. Its funny... I remember two New Year's Eve's in a row saying "its got to be better next year... cause it CERTAINLY couldn't be any worse." I can say- I've learned my lesson. Things can ALWAYS get worse. So, this year- I'm not saying that... what I am saying is that I'm trying to learn from the hard times and press forward to a happier new year.
2011 brought a lot of changes for our family- a lot of focus and redirection for me and Chris- and a lot of realization of what is important and what is not. I'm not going to go into the details but I can say that 2011 was undoubtedly the toughest year of my life. I am thankful to close the door and walk into another year in a new house, a new town, a new state, and a new life. We have had a very enjoyable Christmas and New year with a ton of family... some from here in Nashville, some from Maryland, and some from Alabama. I am thankful for all we have and for the blessing it is to be with family. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
In the coming year- my plans are few... but I do intend to finish up an album--- singer songwriter in nature... not anything anyone has heard from me thus far. This album is personal- songs are real- emotions are honest. This project will be the product of my last few years of life experiences. Stay tuned.
School is on hold for a bit... with my health being so up and down... I don't want to start back into it until I really have the lupus under control. I've felt good for about 6-8 weeks. Of course, with the steroid treatment- I've continued to battle weight gain and so I will spend the new year fighting to get my health back... my weight back down to where it should be... and my lupus in remission.
Chris started a new job last week... so far, so good. We think it will be a good fit. We're looking forward to seeing how things work out for him in his new position.
The kids are pressing onward with school... though, we are in the works with a new school option for Julia. We are in application process and as we find out more... we'll share more. In the meantime, we're hoping all goes well.
I'll end this- my first post of 2012 by just saying Welcome NEW YEAR... I'm so happy you're here!!!
