I am enjoying my last day of winter break today with Ava. We met Matt for breakfast this morning, played at the outlet mall, ran a quick errand, and then have been playing at home.
Can you believe how long her hair is?
I have enjoyed my time off so much, but I think I am actually ready to get back into a routine. I have organized so much at home, that any more time here may make me a bit crazy :) I'm at the point where the tiniest things are bothering me with the house, so that's a sign that I need to get back to my busy schedule!
I love the new year because I love setting goals, planning, and organizing my life. Last year I set a goal to slow down and relax and I would say that 2013 was one of my most relaxed years yet! 2013 was a crazy year at work, but it felt like one of my "easiest" years because I was finally finished with my Masters degree and Ava was a bit older and on more of a predictable schedule. Matt and I did a pretty good job with date nights in or happy hours out, and I feel like we were "present" with each other and Ava in the evenings and on the weekends. We both like our job, but do a great job leaving as soon as we can in the afternoon to be together as a family.
In 2014 I hope to continue staying active and doing things we enjoy like bike rides and trips to the park and beach. Also, I want to be happy with all of the great things I have done, instead of focusing on the things that I have not done. I'm posting these quotes in my notebook:
We have a few trips in the works for 2014 and have some small house projects we want to work on. I am reminded every day of how fast Ava is growing, and I just want to enjoy every moment with my family.
Happy 2014!
