Happy New Year!
2018 has arrived.
We rang in the new year at home, just the four of us (well, the 5 of us- we picked Marley up from the doggie hotel!) Quiet time at home was perfect after our amazing week on the slopes.
Up next- we have a few epic adventures headed our way- and we still have a ton a planning left to do!
Believe it or not, we have a few firsts already scheduled. The kids will be taking their first cruise, for one. It’ll be my first Disney Cruise, as well! I am so very excited to see the kids as they meet all the characters again. We met some characters on our ski trip, and they warmed right up! I’m hopeful the character interactions will go a little better than they did a year ago!
In addition, we have another trip scheduled- and I’ll be taking the kids on an airplane BY MYSELF! We’ll be meeting up with Nonie & Pops on the other end, but I’ll be navigating the airport and airplane SOLO.
Other than our travels, and conquering new challenges, I’m really hoping to focus on family, and our marriage this year. I struggle to find a good balance, and I’m hoping to work on that. As the kids get older, I’m aware that my time with them is going to be changing soon- Next fall, they’ll be at school three days a week, instead of two, and the year after that, they’ll likely be going to full day Kindergarten.
As much as I have needed to work on self-care in 2017, I’m now in a place where I can recognize that I won’t be in this position forever, and I need to take advantage of, and really appreciate every moment we have together. They really do grow so fast.
We are so excited for all the adventures that 2018 holds, and we hope you’ll join us for the ride!
From our family to yours, we wish you a new year rich with the blessings of love, joy, warmth, and laughter.
Love to follow your adventures! Keep posting!
