Everyone is in an introspective mood today. Or maybe it's retrospective, looking back over the year. And maybe it's corny and cliche that I do a blog post about it, but I can't help myself. I too am looking back while looking ahead and feeling that weird emotion that is a combination of nostalgia, anxiety, and maybe a little fear.
At the beginning of 2010, I had no idea what the year would bring. I won't go into all the details, but we had some very low lows and some amazing highs. My head is spinning trying to encompass everything that went on.
2011 is going to be challenging too. We have a graduation along with the shipping-off-to-college that is to follow. We're also expecting our first grandchild. Come fall, we have one going off kindergarten, another going into Jr. High.... big families are a combination of insane that many people just don't get. And I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Happy new year! I hope many of you will follow us on our wild ride!
