12 Things...

12 Things I liked about this year (in no particular order)...

1) Snowfall. We had some good snowfall in January and we have even had snow three times so far this winter - that is unheard of for our area.
2) Hawaii - I had a great trip to Hawaii with Jason... tons of fun.
3) Work - I started doing consulting with my dad at the beginning of this year and it has been an incredible experience. I am so grateful to be able to do that. :)
4) Making new friends - I have made some great new friends this year.
5) Working out with my Mom - We have had a great time working out at the "club" together. It has been a great time for us to talk and exercise. I will always treasure these times with her.
6) Nia starting Kindergarten - Because Nia missed the cut-off date for school, we had to get her tested in order for her to get into Kindergarten. She passed with flying colors and she has had a great time in school. We are also very lucky to have had that opportunity to test her because many of the school districts do not do that kind of thing.
7) My relationship with Jason - Jason and I have always had a great relationship. However, this year I have felt like it has become even stronger. I am very grateful for that.
8) Writer's conference - I really enjoyed going to the writer's conference earlier this year. It was a great experience.
9) Turning 30 - For some reason, it is kind of nice to be out of my 20s. My mom was 29 for at least 10 years. I'm not sure what her fear was about. :) I like being 30. :)
10) Potty Training Justis - I am finally done with dirty, smelly diapers! I'm sure all you moms can appreciate how good that feels. :)
11) Fulfilling dreams - I feel really good about fulfilling one of Jason's dreams this year - I bought him a guitar and guitar lessons for his birthday. It is something he has always wanted to do and it was fun for me to be able to help him reach that goal. :)
12) Family - I love our families and I am so grateful to be so close with all of them. We have had a lot of fun with them this year.

The writers conference was fun! I am sure glad I was able to meet you there.

It maybe a bit schmaltzy, but true nonetheless; every year with you is a good one.

Aaah, that was sweet of Jason. What a great guy-lucky girl! =)

I wish our school district let kids test like that--if they did, my youngest would be in kindergarten right now. As it is, she missed the cut-off by 17 days. Pllh.

I'm so with you on the turning 30 thing. I was quite happy to leave the 20s behind.

And as for #8--it was so fun to meet you at the Storymakers conference (I'm assuming that's the one you're talking about!)--and I hope you'll come again this year.

Happy new year!
