What's up, my friends?
Long time no talky.
I do hope all is well with you.
This year has been quite a busy one for me...but then really (come to think of it) what year isn't busy?
This past year I worked my first full time job ever. That was something! I gained quite of bit of confidence from working that much, and quite a bit of money, too. (Well, a lot of money for me at any rate. ;)) I also gained a lot of exhaustion, but I won't blame that entirely on work because that wouldn't be fair. (I regret to inform you that I still have not mastered the art of getting to bed on time on a regular basis. *sheepish grin*)
I made some new friends in 2019...for whom I am very grateful!
I also traveled to see my two very dear friends, Olivia and Natalie. We stayed at Olivia's house this time, and had ourselves a delightfully fun week. That was back in May.
Love these two so much!
I became an auntie again! Twice actually. To an adorable nephew and an adorable niece. I now have three nephews and two nieces, and am very much looking forward to more in the future!! :D
My family moved from our home of seventeen years! We didn't move far, but it was still quite an upheaval, especially as that was the longest we had ever lived at any one place, and for many of my siblings it was the only home they'd ever known. It took us a while, but I think we're all pretty well settled into our new home now. It's weird whenever we drive by the old place though. Sometimes I still feel twinges of sadness. There were a lot of good memories in that home!
I acquired a new sister-in-law as of January 2020. She is also the good friend who traveled with me and my sister to England, Ireland, and Scotland back in January 2019. She was dating my brother at the time, but little did we know as we went sight-seeing around Europe that just one year later we would be able to officially call one another family. :)
So yeah, that's a bit of my year in a nutshell. There's much more I could say of course, but I think any more details will have to wait for another post.
To finish up...I changed my blog look again. I'm rather happy with it. It's a simpler, less cluttered look, and it feels fresh and airy. I like it. What do you all think?
And now, tell me what you've been up to!
I'd love to hear from you!
