2018 Went by in a Blink

Well, it's official. I'm a failure at the family blog. My time is spent elsewhere and that's okay I guess. However, for anyone who still wanders by...We are all doing well.

The girls are in college, the boys stay busy with band/track/plays at school, Nathan has moved teams several times at work and is finally happy (I think...), and I run around trying to do everything at once like I always have.

We met some of our goals for 2018. Nathan and I both lost some weight, we completed some projects around the house, but the best part was the trips we went on. Nathan and I drove down to Dallas to see Les Miserables in May. It was a quick trip, but lots of fun.

Later that month we went to Ireland. That was probably the highlight of the year for me. The countryside was beautiful and Dublin was awesome. I was comfortable enough walking around on my own while Nathan was at work. We went so he could teach a class there for a week. He worked during the day and I wrote like a mad person for the most part. However, I did get out and explore some too. Then he would come home at night and we'd get out together.

In August, we took the kids on another cruise, along with my mom and one of my aunts. We relaxed, actually went to the ship gym three times, and I managed to lose 2 lbs on the trip!

We all accomplished various things I could list, but the best parts of the year were the things we did together. I'm looking forward to making more memories with these crazy people I love in 2019.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
