2020–seriously how are we here? In a new DECADE, how is this even possible?
I know many of you feel the same that 10 years went by at a snail’s pace but also in the blink of an eye. For us 10 years included getting engaged, graduating from grad school, getting married, some travel and growing as a couple, having a hell of a good time just the two of us, becoming Auntie and Uncle A, starting my first blog, buying our first home, celebrating 6000 weddings (roughly), fighting through infertility, loosing babies, getting (and staying pregnant!) with Addie Faith, not sleeping through the night for 18 months straight, moving back to our hometown, celebrating in beautiful births of our friend’s babes who are now part of our village, joining Beautycounter , watching my business grow and not looking back, getting pregnant with Emmie and praying to all things holy that she came to fruition, which she did (thank GOD), making our dream come true of living on the lake, watching our girl’s sister bond deepen, staying at home and working outside of our home, spending time and growing as a family, learning someone I love very, very much has a really sh*tty medical diagnosis, questioning all the things, gearing up for the next decade.
Gosh it’s a lot, right? For everyone it’s a lot. Life is beautiful but it is also freaking messy, hard and dark some days. My goal this year is to soak it all in–dance in the sunshine and the rain, THRIVE instead of just survive and focus on what matters most–being kind and spending q u a l I t y time with the ones I love most! More adventures and less things. Add in doing a little more writing on this blog that I said I would start in 2019. 😉 I can’t wait to see what this next year and decade has in store.
So what are your goals for this year?
