So we did this last year and I really enjoyed reading all of the posts...figured I'd try it again for 2014! (http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-the-3-best-things-to-happen-to-you-in-2013)
What are the 3 best things to happen to you this year?
-
Gosh, if this was name 3 bad things that happened I could do that but 3 good things is hard - 2014 sucked for me!
I will think about it and come back - there must be some good in 2014!!
-
1. Finding out we were expecting baby/daughter #2.
2. Receiving a raise at my job (when I was seriously wanting to quit)
3. watching DD grow from a baby into a toddler, it's been my biggest joy.Honestly 2014 was a rough year for us, so this was hard for me, we are really hoping 2015 will be "our" year to come out on top!
-
1. I had a wonderful year long maternity leave with DD. My best friend was also off on mat leave for the year so we did a lot together. She grew so much and I will always treasure that time.
2. Dh and I went to Florida for a week in April... It was so relaxing and great to spend time alone!
3. I started a new job after my mat leave ended that I truly love.
-
1. Changing jobs - twice - for the better, despite a douchebag of a boss who is leaving In Feb and that's the only reason I've stuck it out
2. Making it through uterine surgery without completely passing out. This was a huge feat for me.
3. BFP!!
-
1. The birth of my son / becoming a mom
2. Seeing my husband as a dad!
3. Getting a new job (with paid maternity leave AND the ability to work from home two afternoons a week)@littlebit: You forgot to name yours!
-
@Mamaof2: Haha, I could name 3 bad things too! We could make a very depressing spin off thread.
ETA: I just was talking to a co-worker and named like 6 bad things... I agree, 2014 was a doozie!
-
1) Found our we are expecting our first
2) Landed my dream job which is going to give me a mat leave.
3) Dad recovered well from his surgery/health issues -
1. Birth of my son, and an easy labor and delivery (seriously ready to do it again!). He is such a joy and its great to see our family come together and DD interact with a sibling.
2. Received a job offer in my home town (but turned it down) but resulted in DH getting a substantial promotion where we are currently located. We would still love to move closer to my parents, but it was just nice to get the confidence boost of the offer.
3. Created a plan for paying off some debt, finished my student loans so far!
-
1. Receiving my acceptance letter to a highly competitive nursing program (and of course starting and finishing the first semester of said program!)
2. Finding the perfect child care situation for J where he thrives and is so, so loved
3. Being offered a new position within my company that offers fewer hours to coordinate with my school schedule -
This is actually hard for me because a lot of good things happened within 2 weeks in November, so I'm going with 4 things.
1) Enjoying LO's first year and watching him learn so many new things (he was 7 weeks old at the beginning of 2014).
2) Buying our first house
3) Getting a new job
4) BFP for baby #2!
-
2014 was a pretty rough year, but it had some highs too!
1. Finding out we are expecting baby #2.
2. Getting back good genetic testing results and finding out we are having another girl.
3. Watching DD grow and develop; spending time with her in playgroups and developing stronger friendships with other parents. -
1) The birth of DD2 in February!
2) Our move from Australia to England going relatively smoothly and everything falling into place with visas, job offers, home buying, and all the other stresses that come with an international move.
3) Buying our first family home and moving in in November!
2014 was a pretty good year for us and I'm looking forward to 2015 now that we are settled in our new home
-
2014 had a rough start, but I like the focus on the brighter parts! For me:
#1) Being offered part-time for decent money and the ability to mostly stay home with our son.
#2) Taking our first international trip as a family and watching LO play on the beach and in the pool. Pure joy.
#3) My husband being offered an amazing job that will create a wonderful future for him and our family. So proud of him.
-
@LBee: honestly, I'm having a hard time finding 3 things! 2014 was sucky for us too. The best thing was getting pregnant and having our LO. I was hoping reading everyone elses posts would inspire me. Nope. Ha!
-
1) Witnessing so many of LO's milestones (crawling, walking, talking, etc.).
2) First child-free vacation with DH to Vegas
3) Promotion at work
-
1. Hearing the heartbeat of our (hopefully) rainbow baby.
2. Seeing DS grow into such an amazing, smart, funny, and talkative little boy.
3. DH having a job he enjoys, which allowed me to cut back my hours at work.I hope everyone has an even better 2015!
-
@Littlebit: It was nice that we both had the fail safe of having the baby, but then I remembered that also came with getting my stomach sliced open and bed rest...
-
1. Watching DS grow during his first year—he is such an amazing little person!
2. Seeing the heartbeat of baby #2
3. Becoming an aunt! -
I just looked at my responses from last year. I had a heckuva year last year!
1. Watching E grow and explore. He has quite the little personality and he's really thriving at home and at daycare! (Daycare was a huge anxiety this year, but after 17 months on a list, we finally got him in!)
2. My job is getting busier, but still a work in progress. But I love what I do and the people I work with.
3. DH met a HUGE goal with beyond flying colors. I'm so proud of him!
ETA: 4. Oh yeah, I'm pregnant! Ha. Poor second child.
-
@Mamaof2: I agree.
-
1) Getting a new job that has better hours, better pay, better coworkers....a HUGE improvement.
2) Being able to actually spend quality time with my H now that we don't have opposing schedules.
3) Becoming more acclimated to my new city. My husband got his dream job so we made a major move towards the end of 2013. It was a huge leap of faith for me -- quitting my job before finding a new one, moving very far away to a state I'd never even been to before, etc. It was scary, but it turns out I love it here and we are very happy! Now that we're more settled, we've been talking about TTC soon and everything feels very exciting
-
1. Getting a raise during a salary freeze
2. My brother's wedding!
3. We got to take two international tropical trips this year. -
1. Getting matched with awesome donor parents.
2. Traveling to Alaska.
3. Fostering 3 tiny kittens and keeping one. -
1. Watching my baby become a little boy...amazes me everyday
2. Buying an investment property that we are about renovate, live in, and eventually flip. The leap of faith that DH and I went/are going through has made our relationship so much stronger.
3. Watching 3 of my best friends become mamas. So great and happy for them.2014 was pretty good, but I'm hoping for 2015 to be even better.
