Happy New Year!!  We are wrapping up the holidays around here and gearing up for 2016.  Lets take a look back at 2015..

Jan: The calm before the storm.  We were fresh off of a mexican vacation and just starting to talk more seriously about having baby #3 and moving back to the midwest.

Feb: Started to move forward on big life plans.  Had an awesome birthday / date night / last hoorah where I ominously said ‘I bet we wont do anything like again for a long time” Boy was I right!

March: Confirmed I was pregnant! And Phil was flying to Motorola for a second interview!

April: Phil got his job offer and we were putting in our notices at work and looking for rental houses.

May: Moved from Baltimore and lived in Btown for four weeks

June: Phil started the new job and came to btown on the weekends.  Finally moved into rental at end of the month.

July: Found out we were having a boy! Worked on finding doctors, schools, vet, etc.

August: School started and finally started to feel a bit more settled

September: ‘Babymoon’ to cleveland, starting to gear up for baby #3

October: Mostly huge and miserable. Waiting for baby to arrive.

Until finally:

November: Postpartum craziness with lots of visitors.

December:  Holy shit we have 3 kids.

2015 was such a crazy and insane year – I cant believe how much our life has changed since last January, but we are working really hard on creating the life we want and we are so close I can taste it.  I am really excited for 2016.  The year where we buy a house.  The year where all our kids sleep through the night.  The year I have my body back to myself (and I run a sub-50 5-miler?).  They are not lofty goals, but they will take a lot of work.  I’m not expecting 2016 to be easy.  Phil and I actually prepared ourselves that it might be the worst hardest year of our lives with 3 kids so young – but I feel like we are headed in the right direction – and I’m strangely hopeful that things will be pretty great.
