So it's a new year and I'm wondering what it has got in store for us. Last year was special in lots of ways - a birth, a new job and an engagement...I'm not sure how 2011 will top that. But there are lots of exciting times ahead - no.1 being that we hope to put our house on the market very soon and move somewhere bigger and better. We have already found and viewed the perfect house, in Tewkesbury, and we have our fingers crossed that it doesn't sell too soon so that we can put an offer in.
I have lots of smaller, quieter hopes for this year though...I hope to spend as much time as possible with my babies, to watch them grow and develop, to have fun and create happy memories for them. I hope Jamie settles in at preschool when he starts in February. I think he's going to find it hard at first and it breaks my heart to think of leaving him there unhappy...but I know he needs to spread his wings and spend time away from me, learning new things and making new friends.
I hope I can relax a bit more this year, to go with the flow and just live in the moment, not worrying about how dusty the house is or the fact that there are 20 zillion different toys scattered over the living room. That stuff doesn't matter, and I know when I'm old, I'm not going to look back and wish I'd got the hoover out more often. I'll wish for more time with my children, happy, simple times just spent together enjoying each other.
I also hope that I continue with my running. I feel really good about how I've stuck to my programme and how much I've improved in the short time I've been doing it. It's something just for me, and I really love it. I hope to enter a 5K race sometime in the Spring and then perhaps a 10K.
So hello 2011, I can't wait to find out what you've got in store for us!
