Some of the day-to-day of 2014 was rough, but overall I've been very lucky this year.

2013 was a pretty rough year for us, thankfully 2014 has been kinder. 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.
Good things in 2014:
1) After 15 months of unemployment, DH landed a job that he enjoys, with good people.
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.
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! -
1. I became a SAHM/part-time WAHM and I get to have the best of both worlds, caring for my daughter but also advancing my career.
2. I became pregnant with our second child.
3. We finally sorted out LO's food allergies and she is no longer miserable. She is excelling and hitting milestones and I'msuch a proud mama.
-
1. LO was born
2. I lost my job (which meant I have gotten to spend the last 7.5 mo home with her)
3. My mom retired so she has gotten to spend lots of time with us. -
1. We bought a house and are loving it!
2. Took LO to Disneyland/Hawaii. Memories to last a lifetime
3. DH got a big raise at work which makes our life a little more comfortable.
-
2014 was pretty good to us.
1) watching C grow- she was 5 months this time last year, just starting to sit, now she is her own amazing little person.
2) making a really wonderful, supportive group of mom friends. We met in a class when the babies were 6 weeks old and now I can't imagine not having them in our lives.
3) we bought our condo (though slightly anticlimactic aince we were living here and renting first). -
1. Seeing DH progress in therapy all year. The improvements really have been amazing.
2. Buying our first house!
3. Getting pregnant
-
1. The birth of our son. He's the happiest baby, despite having some big health challenges.
2. Seeing how much DH loves being a daddy.
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. -
Watching LO grow & learn & thrive. Walking, talking, loving. Ahh, it's just too good.
We bought a house!
We went on a really great getaway, just the two of us, to Santa Barbara.
-
1) My sweet second daughter was born.
2) LO1 is learning at lightning-fast speeds and it's cool to watch.
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! -
2014 was a wonderful year. There were challenges, but outweighed by the good things. Definitely my best year yet!
1. Gave birth to our beautiful daughter & have gotten the priviledge to see her blossom into an almost-toddler.
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!
3. Got a 4.0 in my 3rd grad school semester. -
1) My company has done well financially so it has helped us pay for our medical expenses
2) New RE diagnosed me in April and we had a successful embryo Retrival (12 retrieved; 10 mature, 8 fertilized, 7 frozen) -
Bought new house, job promotion/salary increase for me and DH, pregnant with baby 2.
-
I don't know if I even have 3 since nothing tops the birth of LO...he's just the best thing ever
-
We had a pretty great 2014 with a new house, new business for DH, and some great vacations.... But it all pales to the sweet, not quite two day old bundle of love sleeping on my chest.
-
we just got married in february in the dominican. the wedding was amazing, the week long trip with 80 of our closest was even better!
expecting our first little one this upcoming april.
did lots of renos on our house and now we love it so that's probably my third but wedding and baby overshadowed everything else this year. 2014 was good to me!
-
My family started 2014 with a triple whammy of new beginnings: 1) LO started daycare 2) I went back to school 3) DH started a new job. All of this happened after we got back from a nice vacation in the Canaries. I was a good year!
