Resolutions are lame, but I am simply unable to avoid any circumstance in which I get to make a few lists, so I suppose I'll chime in.
This was last year:
January: settled in to College Station – new town, new home, new job
February: Julianna joined the crazy Nickson clan
March: DonMark turned 30, went on trip #4 to Ghana – MP bought land in Makongo
April: introduced to Fuego's poblano queso (life-changing, truly)
May: placed membership at ComChurch, road-tripped to Dallas for the Symphony
June: MP Art Auction, hottest camping trip ever with the girls at Fort Parker
July: trip #5 to Ghana – MP implemented the first aquaculture project
August: stuck in "Dehydration Canyon" on a Gila trip with Dad, ComChurch Family Camp, Lake Whitney/Cameron Park excursion
September: FC Dallas game, trip #6 to Ghana – MP rescue of 24 trafficked kids
October: welcomed Fall?, marathon planning got serious
November: first time to attend the BCS Turkey Trot and climb in a port-a-potty
December: Year Two of the BCS Marathon and a nice loooong break
Whew! There are, of course, a few things I'd choose to do differently had I the year to do over, but it's been such a fun adventure overall. So many moments of joy, affirmation, and being right where I want to be, living life fully. Wouldn't trade it.
*******
A few things I'm looking forward to in 2013, in no certainly order:
• Family road trip this summer
• Exploring identity
• Creating more, spending less, giving more
• Hanging out with Wyatt and Emmerson
• Race training smarter and with purpose
• New job roles and fine-tuning those that are continuing
• Digging deeper in relationships and mending strained ones
• Ghana and more rescued kids from Lake Volta
• BCS Marathon Race Series
