2013 is gone and I'm pretty sure I missed it. I got to the end of the year and felt like I didn't check nearly all the things off my list that I had written there. Even though I did get to go camping a couple times with the kids at the Sand Dunes (which is the most peaceful place on earth, in case you were wondering).
So. I wrote down the events I will do in 2014. Some of them are written on the calendar in permanent marker, others will happen spontaneously when there is a nice day. Many of them are simply spaces that fill me up, that help me center on the people that are most important to me. Some of them will require a babysitter or Camp Grandma. Some of the will require doing extra laundry. Some of them will mean skiffing an assignment at school or taking an extra day of precious PTO. But they WILL happen. In no particular order:
- Stay at the Parlin house with good friends (preferably in the summer when we can be outside fishing in the pond or drinking coffee on the deck.
- Camping at the Sand Dunes (because it's tradition. And peaceful and beautiful and reminds me how my insignificant troubles are--no bigger than a grain of sand).
- King Reunion (July)
- Buffalo Creek Bike/Camping trip
- Take Liam and Wyatt hiking at the Crags
- Cross Wedding (June)
- Eitzen wedding (July)
- Sipapu ski trip for Clown Clinic (February)
- Scrapbook Retreat (January)
- Ski with the family another weekend, just for kicks.
- Family bike ride
- Hubby bike ride
- Eat at Mountain Flying Fish
- Hubby Hike
- Spend a day at Mt Princeton Hot Springs
- High School Reunion (I'm not going to tell you what year. You get to guess.)
- Talk with "Dear Kate" at least once a month, either by text, FB, phone or (ideally) in person.
- Seven. Seven minutes of a workout and seven minutes of prayer. Every. Day. Because even the busiest of us can find seven minutes of something we can give up.
It's going to be a busy year! Let's get started . . . .
