Gone is 2022. Admittedly, I’m one of those people who feels differently when the year ends. I love the newness of a fresh planner and the quietness of January.

I don’t have many complaints about 2022. I think it was more survive and less thrive, but it was manageable and enjoyable for my family. We all caught C-VID this time around the sun but it was mild. We spent time in the camper. K and I managed to get in the air once and escape to The Keys for a few days. Work trips were back on the schedule (although we skipped a few). M grew and grew and learned and learned and completely transformed into a little kid ❤

One best friend moved home! One best friend had a baby! I did my best to grow and nurture my circle of trusted friends, and I celebrated & grieved with these women all year. We had playdates and concerts and a dance recital. Everyone in our house is potty trained. M rode a pony and loved it. Mom got a new Bronco and loves it.

Summer was hot, winter was cold, and not a day goes by that I’m not grateful for all the love in our lives.

I’m walking into 2023 in a good headspace. I have goals and I have resolution. I don’t know what the year will bring, but I’m comfortable with that.

Now on to the pictures…

Honestly, I didn’t think I had many pictures to show for this year. Turns out, I was wrong. Also… M has a TON of friends. Goodness gracious.

I’m very grateful for happy and relative healthy year. Fingers crossed we get another good one.

And if yours was less than great, I’m sending lots of good vibes for 2023.
