Happy New Beginnings

January 2014

I say this every year, along with the hundreds of others that I am sure say the same thing... "Wow, that year went by quick." Seriously though, this past year seemed to fly by faster than any other year I remember.

We are so close! Just 11 days from now we'll be on our way to Vancouver and 12 days until our meeting. The closer it gets the more nervous I get.. No idea why! It's a meeting!! I think it's all the hype of it in my head. I'm such a people pleaser I'm afraid they won't like me... (Trust me, it sucks being that kind of person!!) I am the type of person who needs all the details ASAP. I have to be as organized and prepared (for anything) as I can. I can't tell you how many times I've gone over in my head what im going to wear and how I should do my hair! Its ridiculous, seriously! I am your typical Type A personality.. This also sucks!! But it is who I am, take it or leave it. I'm the mom who has detailed lists for my lists, I pack 3 weeks ahead for anything. Before the boys were born I would wash their new baby clothes, organize them, put them away and then do it again because... Haha I don't know why. I need it to feel perfect? I am also a clutter freak for my own personal space. Anything that hasn't been used in the past 6 months must go! I don't use window sills to display cute things or put stuff above my kitchen cabinets. It feels cluttery to me and it drives me bonkers. I'd like to thank my mom for that gracious gift hahah
Ok I've gone WAY off course...
I am more nervous of the drive. Heavy winters here and the passes could be totally hit or miss. Keeping my fingers crossed for an easy, beautiful day (and a good baby)! This will be the first time Kyle and I have ever left the two older boys. I think they'll be ok, it's only one night. For the most part it will be harder on us I'd imagine.

We are so excited to see some family on the trip! I am trying to remember the last time I saw my brother and sister.. I think Windsor (now almost 3) was only 6 months old. Connecting with my brother in law, my nephew, dad, cousin... I know I will wish we could have made the trip longer, but Kyle has to work and that's just the way it is. Greatful I get to see them this time.

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas & Wishing you all an amazing 2014!
