Happy 2017!

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Happy New Year! I cannot believe that it is already 2017!

Wow, it seems like 2016 just started, and yet here we are in a whole new year. Time sure flies!

2016 was quite the year, filled with major moments and difficult low points. So much happened over the past twelve months!

Some of the good:

We celebrated a year down here in Florida.
I got trained to be able to take on more at my job.
I celebrated a year with Disney.
I lost some weight.
I published my second children's book.
My sisters got their hearing aids.
My brother became a teenager.
My sister became an adult.

Some of the not-so-good:

We lost my mom's uncle.
I went through twelve more months without seeing my friends.
My dad got sick (but has since recovered beautifully, thank goodness).

Luckily, the good outweighed the bad, and we're now on to a new year that will hopefully bring a lot more good to our lives. I rang in the new year last night with my parents, just the three of us as the rest of the kids slept. It was quiet and peaceful, and we toasted each other while we counted down the ball drop on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. I still miss having New Year's Eve parties with our friends in New York, but I have to say that it was kind of nice to celebrate just with my parents.

Here's to a wonderful new year and the best to everyone in 2017!

About

My family has been doing foster care since I was three years old. I'm the only biological child in my family, though I now have five permanent siblings. Having nineteen siblings over the course of my lifetime has been an incredible experience, and I'm hoping that by sharing some of the ups and downs of being the only bio kid in a foster family, other foster families or people looking into doing foster care will be able to learn a bit of what life can be like. I also like to share what life is like on my journey to becoming a published author, as well as where my schooling and career choice are taking me.

Happy 2017!
