Yesterday was exactly the day I wanted it to be. We did absolutely nothing. Andrew had made a pot of chili the day before so we didn't even need to cook. We got to watch some great football games and just sat...loved every minute!
Unfortunately, we have learned this morning that Granny, our dear family friend, passed away this morning. She lived a full life and has been ready to go see Poppy again, but it's not the way we wanted to begin the year.
I am absolutely ready to get this house, and our lives, going in the right direction. We closed on the sale of our house Friday before we left town. It was so very nice to have that all taken care of, especially before the end of the year. Andrew and I are beginning to prioritize the things that we want to do in this house to make it really feel like our home. I am really "chomping at the bit", but I kind of need to take a step back. For one thing, I need to get the Christmas decorations put away (and thanks to the 3" of snow already outside and more falling, that may not happen today) but I need to make sure I am doing things in the correct order. I really want to get rid of the awful curtains that are in our living room, but I need to make sure that I have decided on the paint color for the walls before I do that. I am also really anxious to purchase new bedding for our bedroom, but we need to decide whether or not we are upgrading to a larger bed. And of course I need to make sure I can pay for everything as well! One thing that I know we will be doing is updating the hall bathroom. It is AWFUL!
I am also hoping that our new year can bring some calm, and that has to begin with me. I am planning to be better about exercising and watching what I eat, and hopefully that will also give me the strength and energy to not only be calm, but a better mom and person overall.
We are looking forward to all of the opportunities that this new year can bring!
