There were challenges, but outweighed by the good things. Definitely my best year yet!</p> <p>1. Gave birth to our beautiful daughter &amp; have gotten the priviledge to see her blossom into an almost-toddler.<br /> 2. Lost my retail job when the store closed--which seemed like a bad thing at the time but threw me into job search mode and I ended up getting two great part-time jobs that I love and are much more schedule-flexible!<br /> 3. Got a 4.0 in my 3rd grad school semester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-the-3-best-things-to-happen-to-you-in-2014/page/2#post-2003557 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 04:40:13 +0000 erinpye 2003557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1) My sweet second daughter was born.<br /> 2) LO1 is learning at lightning-fast speeds and it's cool to watch.<br /> 3) DH stopped working for himself in an industry he hated, and got a new job in one he absolutely loves. It's entirely remote so now we can move, and we don't have to worry about all the caveats of being self-employed such as higher tax rates and buying our own medical insurance. Happier all around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-the-3-best-things-to-happen-to-you-in-2014/page/2#post-2003490 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 00:38:32 +0000 daniellemybelle 2003490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Watching LO grow &amp; learn &amp; thrive. Walking, talking, loving. Ahh, it's just too good. </p> <p>We bought a house!</p> <p>We went on a really great getaway, just the two of us, to Santa Barbara. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-the-3-best-things-to-happen-to-you-in-2014/page/2#post-2003489 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 00:36:36 +0000 jhd 2003489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. The birth of our son. He's the happiest baby, despite having some big health challenges.<br /> 2. Seeing how much DH loves being a daddy.<br /> 3. Being able to stay at home with LO. It's not always easy but I'm glad we have been able to make it work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-the-3-best-things-to-happen-to-you-in-2014/page/2#post-2003488 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 00:36:10 +0000 macintosh 2003488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1.

We met in a class when the babies were 6 weeks old and now I can't imagine not having them in our lives.<br /> 3) we bought our condo (though slightly anticlimactic aince we were living here and renting first). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-the-3-best-things-to-happen-to-you-in-2014/page/2#post-2003417 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 22:35:36 +0000 AprilFool 2003417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1.

Although I'm learning that real life means that you're usually right around the corner from something crappy and the only thing you can control is your reaction to it.<br /> Good things in 2014:<br /> 1) After 15 months of unemployment, DH landed a job that he enjoys, with good people.<br /> 2) I got a new job in April. Better pay, better hours, better benefits, WAY less stress, better chances for growth, great group of coworkers, onsite daycare for C that we LOVE. It has been life changing. DH's new job happens to be with the same organization and I can't help but feel like it was all meant to be.<br /> 3) Watching C grow and become our little buddy. She is so much fun, so good and funny. Daycare has been so good for her, she is really thriving and learning so much. She will always be the best part of the year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-the-3-best-things-to-happen-to-you-in-2014/page/2#post-2003344 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 21:20:33 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 2003344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1) Going back to work part-time.

My son. And his amazing smooth birth.<br /> 2. Seeing his older brother turn into such a clever little guy. He talks more than any kid I know and he is hilarious. He likes to tell his brother, "you're so laughy!"<br /> 3. DH took a new job and we are much more stable financially now, even with me staying home. Very grateful because I wasn't sure how we were going to make it work with out surprise number two.<br /> 4. We finally feel settled in our city instead of regretting our move.
