When 2012 started, I made a list of things I was looking forward to and things I wanted to accomplish. Let's look at the things I wanted to accomplish:
*Check out potential places to live after
residency: Hey, Josh is done with residency in six months! He has a contract from a practice that we are super excited about joining! We're going to stay in Portland for a couple years before moving out to Clackamas county on a little plot of land! That's a lot of exclamation points, but expresses how I feel about these developments.
*Take a serger class: I did this! This year, though, I should make it a goal to use my serger more.
*Take
better care of my hair: Curly hair is hard sometimes. I found a spray conditioner that really helps with frizz control. I'm still experimenting, and I'm sure the internet finds this riveting.
*Find a church home: Oh, fail. We did not do that this year. Do you want an excuse? We're moving across the city in the summer and didn't want to find a place just to leave it? Lame.
*Actually
start exercising: I did really well for the first couple months, then in the summer when we hiked a lot, and then in the last couple months. This is an improvement over last year.
*Meet my fundraising goal for work: I didn't quite, but I came close, and my whole department saw similar results. 2012 was tough for everyone.
*Make
more clothes: I made fewer clothes this year. Partly because I discovered that it takes a lot of fabric to make a man's shirt, and none of the wool pieces I had are big enough. Sleeves, man. They eat up yardage.
*Send more fun packages to our nieces: We did this, and it was fun!
When I made this list, I had a secret goal that I wasn't putting on the blog: 2012 was the year we planned to start a family! So, let's look at all the wonderful things 2013 will bring:
*March - I will be done working for forever
*March (or April, probably April) -We'll have a son!
*June - Josh will finish his residency
*July - Road Trip! (yes, with a three month old)
*August - We'll move across the river
*September - Josh will start at his new practice
2013 will be full of exciting change! I'm still considering what goals I want to add among these big, big changes in our life. That will be for another post, though. For now, Happy Belated New Year!
