Goals for 2026

I make the same New Year's Resolution every year--lose weight.  But I really need to get serious this year because Paul and I have our 20th anniversary in May, we have an amazing trip planned for the girls' graduation, plus with the graduation itself there will be lots of photos taken.  Also, I am prediabetic, so there's that, and my 40th high school reunion is coming up in the summer of 2027.  So here are my goals and resolutions for 2026:

  • Lose weight
  • Increase exercise
  • Hike more.  3 or 4 years ago we started hiking more, but last year we dropped off again because Paul was having a lot of issues with plantar fasciitis/other foot issues.
  • Be more consistent with Bible reading/devotions
  • Read more.  I typically read around 15 or 16 books per year, but would like to increase that to 20-24.  I just need to overcome my addiction to Happy Color, Township and Match 3D (super fun mobile games)
In addition to all that, I have a mental list of things I want to do this year, like take a day trip to Vashon Island, bike the rest of the Snoqualmie Valley Trail (we did some of it a few years ago), and go to the symphony, among other things (but also need to really watch spending as we will soon be paying for college for TWO kids simultaneously).

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year.  I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it.  It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods.  So pretty.

Senior Prom

Last Friday was the girls' Senior Prom.  A whole group of them met at a nearby park for photos, then they broke off into smaller groups and went to dinner and Prom.  Olivia and her group rented an Air B&B for the night, and Kayley spent the night at a friend's house with another friend or two. Olivia and Gavin (just friends) Everyone Just the guys Just the girls Olivia and Kayley
