Christmas was an interesting time here. The buckets of snow that dumped on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were amazing and perfect. The small quiet Christmas Eve traditions Will and I just started were even more so. My crazy loud family was also a great time.
Lots of games, movies, too much food and too little personal space are usually what makes up my family gatherings, and this year was no different. Although Will and I slept at our house, we spent all our time at my parent's house with the family. I think if it weren't for our 1-2 hours of peace at our house each day we would have exploded. Although we love my family dearly, Will and I both agreed that we need to focus more on us growing as a family, and less on my extended family. We don't have kids yet, but we are 110% a family that needs looking after.
New Year's was a great time. Lots of games and food. I was nervous about Leo and fireworks, but turns out he's obsessed with them. It's almost as if he thought that they were birds.
We are changing wards on Sunday, and we could not be more excited. We liked our old ward, but the boundaries were way too confusing, and the bishopric was sort of... absent?
Anyway, we are keeping our 11 o'clock time, moving to the closer, newer building, and the boundaries only span out to the edge of our development. We are elated.
This is going to be a terrifying year for me, as I will be graduating and starting to teach. Because of this I am taking the advice of all of my Lit. and Education teachers and doing more pen on paper writing. I'm starting up my journal again. So I'm not sure how much more I will be using this blog.
Either way, this year my biggest goal is to make myself happy, and focus less on making sure everyone else is happy first (this goal brought to you by the husband Will) and to find what makes me happy I think that I need to do more writing.
The end
