We're in a strange life phase: working, serving in the church, and playing with friends and family are our highlights, and they can be fairly repetitive highlights. Treasures to us, to be sure, but less interesting to read about.
When people ask me what I'm up to, my eyes often glaze over and my mind spins, trying to find something to say that doesn't have to do with Netflix or a new recipe or the latest police activity in my neighborhood. The benefit of letting a blog lie fallow for a little while is that I feel better about our accomplishments as a family. If I let a few months go by, it's easier to pick out the real adventures to report.
As it happens, work, church, and playing with friends and family were still the highlights of the last two months. We celebrated holidays and special events with loved ones. David turned another year older, sold his money pit of a car, and helped with Hurricane Sandy cleanup in NYC. I baked things. We enjoyed familial visitors, and we did a little visiting ourselves. We witnessed Little Baby Jordan's safe return from his missionary service. We spent an awful lot of time planning imaginary vacations and tossing about life plan ideas. We ate good things, and we didn't sleep enough. (There's never enough sleep, in my opinion.)
All in all, 2012 was good to us. But, this ol' bloggie isn't really about grand happenings. Here's to a lovely 2013, full of the beautiful every day events and spiced with a few adventures along the way.
