the new year is here. really. according to my laptop it’s already the 7th (i was too lazy to change the time)
i’m not sure what this ear, opps year will bring. i know that poppy is hoping that it’ll bring some employment for a certain spouse. or just lots oh cash and a renter for our house. (then i could stay home guilt free)
i know that we’ll be experiencing lots of changes in our marriage as well. i’m not gonna lie these first 8ish months have been a bit rough. poppy missing playing golf, alot and i miss sleeping, alot. some things that we hope to focus back on this year. we bought some tennis racquets while in south africa so i’m hoping to learn and that rob can be a patient teacher. this should be fun.
we got a larger tent while we here so that we can ALL fit in a tent. we just need for there to be gas to buy in LLW so we can get out of town. (and if you have any hints for tenting with your child, i’m open to suggestions…) we want L to respect the environment as much as we do and to love hiking, trees and flowers and all that other stuff. (plus showering…) poppy would love to get him a pet otter to play with. :)
we are thinking about our time in malawi. and trying to be purposeful with it. we aren’t going to get back this age with L. it’s hard. i remember my mother at age thirty someanother…. (hi mom, feel better!) i want L to remember fondly on our time in malawi (i know he won’t remember it all but…)
but we need to treasure our time. (maybe treasure should be my word of the year)
make our interactions purposeful! (maybe that should be my word)
sorry, i got lost. (i’m watching the cot.ton bo.wl)
anyways, i’ll think about this some more.
