In lieu of the Christmas card we couldn’t get out there, here is our Christmas update for you:
I wrapped up my role as Director of Ops & Finance at Semi-Retired MD (last day was Friday) and already miss my team more than I expected.
Rod and I celebrated our 5-year anniversary, and I still thank God daily for the gift of him and our life together.
Meilee and the twins moved closer, making it easier to see the kids every week!
The twins turned 5 and started kindergarten which somehow feels like they are 5 but actually now 15 at the same time.
Kayla and Thomas moved closer, and then Rod and I decided that still wasn’t close enough so we moved even closer to them. Best decision.
Austin was our realtor when we bought our home this year and absolutely crushed it.
Ash and Cam are still in the same house, the same jobs, and still show up ready to play games and spend time together which I never take for granted.
Ry and Wyatt moved closer too, even if it’s still a 45-minute drive. Ry graduated from college, and Wyatt is building his freelance marketing business.
Brayden moved out with friends this year and has been working as an electrician. It is weird to see him so much less.
We’re officially empty nesters, which feels like a honeymoon stage for us.
This year reminded me that sometimes the holidays don’t look the way you imagined.
So instead, I’m letting it be a season of…
Releasing control of what is.
Enjoying the moment, no matter what it holds.
Slowing down enough to see the good, especially when you have to look a little harder.
Spending my time in alignment with what I value most.
So grateful to have so many good people in my life! Merry Christmas!!!🎄🎁
