Hiya and comfortable first weblog publish of the brand new 12 months. I’m simply now getting round to noodling over 2025 objectives/intentions as a result of I really feel like we’ve been so busy since Christmas.
We celebrated New Years with our buddies. They arrived on the thirtieth and we tried Farmhouse Tacos for dinner that evening. The service was pleasant and the meals was actually good!
Whereas David needed to work the thirty first, Danielle and I handled the women to a women time out! First we hiked with Finley and labored out, then all of us went to get our nails completed and obtained Starbucks from a present card I had received in our Christmas Saran wrap ball recreation. We had been decided to make it to midnight and I wanted afternoon caffeine to help in that purpose.
.
Because the day turned to night we put out snacks (avocado salsa is so good) and I heated up chili I had made the day earlier than. The ladies lower magazines and made imaginative and prescient boards for the issues that hope to attempt for within the new 12 months.
We watched all the faculty soccer, performed video games (Danielle and I beat the blokes in Samba- twice), and had an exquisite, low key time. We did find yourself making it to midnight and watching the ball drop! Kaitlyn was half asleep and asking to go to mattress, however I pressured her over the end line so she wouldn’t really feel ignored the subsequent day. We toasted with a sip of champagne and glowing grape juice for the children and headed to mattress quickly there afterwards.

Our buddies took off after breakfast on the primary and David and I went rucking. Are you conversant in the time period that Outlive made so mainstream and widespread? The thought is that you simply stroll/hike with a weighted vest and it helps elevate your heartrate with out the excessive impression of operating and in addition is nice for elevated energy. It’s really useful that you simply ruck with roughly 10% of your physique weight and my 12 lb weighted vest is kind of comfy, although I do find yourself feeling it by the tip of three miles.
That afternoon we watched extra soccer whereas I marinated pork tenderloin and made black eyed peas and collard greens. David roasted the tenderloin in our new oven with the probe function (pork is very easy to overcook) and he nailed it. It turned out juicy and scrumptious and had Kaitlyn exclaiming- BEST CHICKEN EVER irrespective of what number of occasions we advised her it was pork.
We loved our conventional meals of pork (prosperity), black eyed peas (luck), collard inexperienced (wealth), and tomatoes (for love) and began the 12 months feeling good, being collectively, and deeply grateful for all our blessings.
.
And now by some means it’s January third and life began again to full swing subsequent week. We’ll be again to homeschool routines, co-op, theater auditions, and basketball video games. I’m able to step into 2025 after such a chaotic 12 months of promoting, uprooting, and transferring in 2024. I’m going to spend the subsequent day or so reflecting, dreaming, and planning. David and I’ll be doing our State of the Household presentation, too! So with that, I’ll be again quickly with ideas on 2025, objectives, and intentions. I hope you’re new 12 months is off to an exquisite begin!
