2014 was...

    An amazing year. 2013 was also wonderful but compared to 2014, DH and I realized how much of a fog we actually were in with newborn twins. But this year was so wonderful. We took the boys on our first family vacation up north to visit DH's family. DH and I took an amazing, rejuvenating 5 year anniversary trip to Mexico sans babies (first time away together since they were born, and our first real vacation since our honeymoon).

    And professionally ... I was on fire. I got a raise, then promotion with a really substantial raise, a nationally recognized award in my industry and an internal company award, as well as a business community award. It was insane.

    Can't WAIT to see what 2015 brings!

    @lovehoneybee: Congratulations on your weight loss achievements! That's fantastic and quite an accomplishment. Feeling good about ourselves is definitely a wonderful confidence booster. I struggled with my pp weight loss for a while but managed to lose weight recently by changing my eating habits. I can wear my pre pregnancy jeans again so I am feeling great!

    2014 was a great year for our family! The best single event was celebrating DD's first birthday. She's just the sweetest and happiest toddler around, we are so thankful for her. We were also able to reevaluate our budget, made some changes that allowed me stay at home with DD for a little bit longer.

    Well, our first child was born, so it was a banner year from that perspective. The newborn fog was tough, especially breastfeeding. Returning to work was also really challenging for various reasons. I felt like I was treading water for awhile. But I finally hit my stride during the last few months of the year. I got back into a groove at work, and the baby just became a lot more fun to hang out with once he learned how to crawl. I am really looking forward to 2015. My goals are to kill it at work, resurrect my social life, and find time to exercise.

    If I had to choose one word, I'd characterize it as steady.
    "2014 was steady"... there were no major highs, but no major lows either. Very low-key, but I'm not complaining!
