After an unnaturally long Christmas break, we are finally back to everyday life. We spent a week in Wisconsin with my family and then another week here at home in Birmingham, I cleaned, organized and re-organized things, Josh wrote and re-wrote his goals and made personal finance budgets that could win awards. We shopped a few after Christmas sales and bought ourselves a grownup coffee pot, retiring our beloved french press. We celebrated New Years Eve on our couch with fondue and a movie and with gratefulness in our hearts for the fact that the ball drops at 11pm Central time. You could say that we are refreshed and ready to go again.
I was at Target this morning for the most “get er done” cart you’ve ever seen. We’re talking new laundry basket, garbage bags, q-tips, pillows and more. All of those annoying things that I’ve been meaning to purchase and always forget. Not today!
While I’ve been meaning to start and finish several worksheets and write out goals for this new year, I’ve been too busy and scatterbrained to actually do it. Josh and I worked on monthly/quarterly goals for last year and I really feel like that format works best for our lifestyle. Josh highlighted only 5 goals for himself this time and I’ll be back in a bit to write my monthly goals and track them here on my blog.
We have another big year ahead of us, lots of changes, lots of travel and a good bit of uncertainty. But I really do love the excitement of it all. And I couldn’t ask for better people to do life with. I’m thankful for Josh and for this adventure that he has taken me on and for our sweet boy, who is looking older than ever and turning two next week.
Happy New Year!
“But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.”
