- Exploring and dreaming about all the plans at CRC (Cadie-Ranger-Colton) Farm
- My new book club friends! Maryann Bandlamudi invited me to join a ladies book club and it has been a joy to get to know Sarah, Brooke, Maryann, Suzie, Kyle, Jane, Erin G. - sometimes I come home with sore muscles from laughing.
- Finishing my first full year at McKesson. I am in a good place with a great team and I feel comfortable and fulfilled.
- Seeing Cadie truly come into her own. She has a sweet group of friends, is signed up for the rowing team for the Spring season with Dallas United Crew, loved being part of the backstage crew and is trying out again for the spring musical, and she will be going through confirmation with our church.
- Making the tough decision to get a prophylactic mastectomy to reduce my change of getting breast cancer down to less than 2%.
- Starting marriage counseling for the first time ever with Grant. We have done things like the Family Life Weekend to Remember and Re-engage with our church. We have always benefited from those things and decided to invest more intentionally in our marriage. Thanks Sparrow House!
- Watching the boys play sports - mostly football. I get pretty into it. Thanks Coach Big John and Coach Cherkassky!
- Hanging around the house at night with friends in and out, Grant grilling steaks, a bottle of wine (or two), and sleeping in the next day.
- Having a support system strong enough to manage through for the first time ever without a full-time nanny. It also helps that the kids are so responsible and can walk most places. Babysitter Channing helped a few days a week, but it was a pretty collaborative effort to make every day come together and get everyone where they needed to be.
- Continued worship at our church home which reopened this year after a huge remodel.
Life is sweet in the yellow house!
