For a brief recap of the ups and downs....
April 2010 - We put our house on the market.
4 days later, it was under contract.
May 2010 - We closed on our home...
...and moved in with Na & G.
Memorial Day Weekend - we moved into our new home.
June 11, 2010 - We got the news of Oma's diagnosis.
September 4, 2010 - We lost Oma.
Holidays 2010 - Bittersweet. We are so blessed, yet it has been hard to adjust to a new life without Derek's mom, Ed's wife, Cole's Oma, etc.
There were many more unmentioned ups, but looking at these major, life-changing events makes me tired! I hope for a whole lot *less* in 2011. Not sure that we'll get too much less though! Baby will arrive within a few months and we will have lots of adjusting to do - - either way, I look forward to embarking on our new family life with my family by my side!
As for resolutions, I need to focus on small things that are realistic. Having a new baby and a three year old will prove challenging I am sure. So, I want to focus on a few things....
- eating more veggies and serving more veggies to the family.
- practicing more patience with Cole. Realizing that however challenging he can be, I only get one chance to spend his childhood with him. I want to show him all of the love that I have for him.
- exercising a few times each week.
So far in 2011, we're off to a good start. Derek, Phoebe, and I have all worked out....yes, Phoebe - she had her first round on the treadmill! Homegirl's birthday is fast approaching! 14 years will look good on her!
Wishing all a wonderful 2011! Here's to health & family - the things that I have learned most about in 2010.
