Originally, I was thinking about writing a post about the best things we did in 2015, but that seems like so last year. I’m ready to move on. 2016 is a beautiful, fresh, new year and I’m so excited to get into it. So here’s what I’m planning on being the best of 2016:
- A kid-free trip to San Diego later this month. Jesse has a conference, and I’m tagging along to enjoy the hotel pool, wifi, and quiet.
- A big family camping trip this summer with my mom’s family.
- Hopefully another trip to Coronado.
- Making good choices all year long.
- Summer vacation with my two big girls who will be more capable and fun this year.
- A long term sub job working with some of my favorite kids in the world.
- A creative weekend in Bend this spring.
- Growing an amazing garden and eating all of it.
- A mom’s weekend at the beach.
- A women’s retreat with my church.
- Directing the Christmas play again next year, but with the knowledge and experience I gained in 2015.
- Four more Day In The Life posts.
- Canning lots of food.
- 30daysofgratitude in November
- Turning 35 years old.
- Finding out where Dan and Nina will move after Nina’s graduation (hopefully west coast, best coast?).
- Seeing plays, concerts, ballets.
- Going to museums with the kids.
- Creating lots of things.
- Doing a month of creating.
- Finding a rhythm.
- Reading lots of books.
I know that there will be many things that we will do this year that aren’t on this list, because I haven’t even dreamt them up yet. I know that I won’t get to everything on this list. I know that some of the things on this list might be horrible and I would never actually include them on a best-of list. But here it is – 2016.
Great list! I need to get on putting together that craft room…
Yeah you do! But you can wait until the thaw. 🙂
