And a Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had happy holidays. Ours were good, but very, very busy. Hubby and I both had relatives in town and everyone wanted to see the baby so there was a lot of gas wasted as we commuted from one end of the valley to the other, multiple times, in one day, for several days. Fun times were had by all. But seriously, our Christmas was nice. The baby made out like a bandit which was fine with us because that meant we didn't have to buy him anything! It's a good thing he's too young to know he's spoiled.
As soon as Christmas was over we got to the packing and moving part of our holiday. Because Chrsitmas just isn't Christmas for us unless it involves moving all our earthly possessions. This year is doubley nice because we get to do it twice! As I'm typing this all of our stuff is in the basement of my parents' house and we're staying with my sister-in-law until we can move into our new apartment at the end of the week. It hasn't been too bad though. For all the stuff we own it didn't take too long to move everything out of our old place. The worst part was cleaning the old apartment before returning the keys. Sick! I can't believe we lived in that filth! Ok, it wasn't quite that bad. But pretty close. And staying with Chuchel's family has been quite fun. It's nice for all of us to have extra adults around to watch small children while we just run to the store for eggs. You have no idea how inconvenient that small errand is once you have a baby. We'll be sad to move out because it's been a lot of fun, but also excited to have our privacy back.
We rang in the new year while nursing colds. Because seriously, what Christmas/New Year holiday is complete for me without a cold? I can't think of a single one. At least we finally had time to relax, which was nice. I've never been much for setting goals - new year or no - but this year I've decided I need to set some. I look back at 2006 and realize I haven't really progressed very much. Yeah, I have a new baby, and I've handled that a lot better than I ever imagined I would, but that's about it. I'm not growing emotionally or spiritually like I want to and while I'm growing physically I'd rather not so I'm going to be working on that too. I admire a lot of the goals Holly has shared on her blog so if she doesn't mind I may be borrowing a few of those. It's funny how generally we all have the same kind of goals for ourselves, no matter where we are in life.
