Just a few highlights from 2013:
My oldest graduated high school and started her first year at university where she is majoring in psychology.
She purchased her first vehicle( a truck she calls Stevie) and finally got her driving licence.
Transformation: my body thru weight loss and exercise. I’m closer to my high school weight than I have been in almost 20 years.
My husband tells me I look better today then I did when he first met me.
I’m not done yet and I have my own personal goals yet to accomplish this year too.
Broken bones: a skateboarding injury that chipped bones in an elbow and a broken wrist.
Moving this blog from our old home at “blogger” and switching to WordPress-even though I haven’t been writing as much as I’d like to lately, I love this blog so much! I have met some pretty awesome people and made true friends.
I am excited to see where our adventures will take us in 2014.
Sharing one of my favourite places with some of my favourite people.
We had a chance to take our little ones to California. We spent three days at Disneyland, visited sea world and took the kids to one of my favourite places, the beach. They played in the sand and jumped over waves.
So many other little and big things happened over the past 12 months, and it all went by so quickly. Life seems to be moving faster and faster the older these kids get!
With 2014 here I thought I would take a page from the book of Mandy Chiappini at A A Sorta Fairytale and choose a personal word for the upcoming year.
For 2014, I have chosen the word:
I feel like this is a pretty good word to keep on my mind and heart at all times. Along with the word, I’ve chosen the following verse:
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9
What about you? If you could choose a word or a goal to help you through the upcoming year what would it be?
What a great year! Sounds almost like mine! I had one start driving, I switched to WP, we went to Disney. Good luck on your weight loss – I’m hoping to have that luck this year. Hope you have another great year this year with everything!
Lol!! I’m going to pee my pants if we do similar things in 2014 🙂
K, probably not but I’m going to laugh!!
Of all of the “year of the word” posts I’ve read, this is my first time reading “trust” as one. I like that… trust yourself, trust in others… happy new year!
It was interesting to read your 2013 higlights and to read your word of the year for 2014.
Sound like you had a great 2013 and I know your 2014 would be just as wonderful. Trust is a great word..There aren’t that many people I trust but I’m working on that..
I think if I did choose a word, it would be intentional because I tend to flit and waste time during the day. I need to focus and use my minutes with purpose!
Sounds like 2013 was a great year for you! Hoping 2014 is just as great!
That’s a great word! I hope maybe in a few years I might have the courage to take on that word.
What a fantastic word for the year. I chose balance.
I hope your 2014 is as fun as your 2013!
My oldest also graduated and is now attending college. He is majoring in nursing, and excelling. I will be on a weight loss transformation journey this year. Congrats on your 2013.
What an amazing journey! Bring on 2014!
What year! I love your word! Mine is persevering this year!
Your goals and accomplishments are remarkable, and I’m certain you will excel in 2014. Did you choose a wordpress .com or org for your blog, and why?
Congratulations on you weight loss! You chose a great word for 2014!
It’s so nice to read about someone who has already had success in weight loss. It really gives me encouragement.
Happy New Year to your family! You have had a very busy and wonderful year!
My word is STEADFAST. It sounds like you had an adventurous year last year. Here’s to a new wonderful year ahead.
Fantastic goals. Wish you luck!
Oh my goodness, congrats on all the amazing feats in 2013… Here is to 2014!!!
Ahh, what a great word for the new year! Blessings for 2014~
I think TRUST is a great choice of words. This year I will put my trust in the lord that he will provide for us.
You really did a LOT Last year! Congrats on your weight loss strides – that sounds amazing! congrats on moving to WP oo. That is a big decision and undertaking – your blog looks great!
