This is probably my worst blogging year to date, so as I go
back through the posts, it’s not super helpful to recap my year. So I’m going
to list a “Top Ten memories” instead… and well, as usual let the photos speak
for themselves. My new year’s resolutions this year were a total bust… but I’m
amping up for 2015 just like I do every year, and I have great faith that this
year will be better!
10 – I studied for and took my Series 7 again. It was
unsuccessful I scored a 64, which is about 8 points lower than I needed. I will
be gearing up again in about 4 months to take it, but I was really hoping to knock
this out in 2014.
9 – We welcomed a new furry kid into our lives in August.
Luna was born June 18th, and I brought her home on August 17th
after many months of searching for a new kitty. She fits in just right in our
little world, and she’s the sweetest thing! She always wants to be around us,
and often in a snuggly way – how can I complain?
8 – Shannon and Erica came out for a visit in March. We went
over to the Olympic Peninsula and explored. I fell in love with “that side of
the water” and I’m thrilled to have been able to have some solid Shannon /
Erica time. I’m secretly (not so secretly) working on making Shannon fall in
love with it here too – then she can move and be closer (I’m not holding my
breath).
7 – Eric’s been working hard on his writing and podcasting
with Nate and Brett at
www.fromthehawksnest.com It’s a great extracurricular for him, and he
loves football! I must also mention that he’s the 2014 Fantasy Football
champion in the “Russell Wilson Fan Club” League. We’ve got a title in this
household!
6 – We worked hard in late January and early February to
make our little house a home. This time last year we were hanging out in our
house with a couch and a TV … things have changed! I don’t think we’ll be
picking up our roots any time soon, but it was tempting when our old apartment
came up for rent again (ugh, don’t even want to get into that). We love our
little place and it certainly is HOME.
5 – In July the Kneeland family invaded Washington for my
little Cousin Lucas’ baptism into the Greek Christian faith. It was awesome to
have so many loved ones in my own back yard! It was fun to connect with my
cousins again, and to roast marshmallows in the back yard, and to teach our new
Greek Friends (Hi Eleni!) how to eat S’Mores.
4 – I fell in love with Baseball over again this year. I
didn’t really realize how much I missed going to the games until I went with a
few friends and sat and watched every movement of every player. I think 2015 is
going to be Sports-Filled for us!
3 – We hosted our first gathering in our home on October 31st
(go figure) we had a few friends over for some tricks, treats, appetizers and
Hocus Pocus. We discovered how much we love to entertain! So, in November we welcomed our first (non family) out of town guest... LIZ! More exploring of the Olympic Peninsula happened... Love that side of the water!
2 – Thanksgiving and Christmas were both held at 1312, we
welcomed new friends and entertained our dear old ones! It was so much fun to
be surrounded by loved ones for the holidays. Grandma Myla was out here again
for the past few weeks celebrating Christmas, we were so blessed this year!
1 – Life is still good with the Ronnebeck’s. We have lots to
look forward to for 2015, but look back at 2014 fondly as it was our first year
of having a home, and a new pet, and new adventures in general! Thanks for
sticking along for the ride.
