One of my friends asked an interesting question that it literally took me all day to think of an answer.

What was the best thing to happen in 2015?

What was the worst?

How do you want to improve in 2016?

The first thing was actually a little hard to answer. Without trying to sound dramatic, 2015 was a challenging year. It was hard trying to figure out motherhood while running a business. It was challenging to find a new normal in our marriage now that we have a kid. We had a lot of huge changes in 2015… and if there is one thing that I have learned this year, is that I struggle with change. I’m a creature of habit and 2015 didn’t let anything stay the same long enough for me to sink into a comfortable habit hole.

We started the year with a 3 month old and Patrick still running his own company while going to school full time. I also returned from maternity leave back in January.

We ended the year with a 15 month old, Patrick working at a new job and me ending the busiest year I have ever had with Miss Jee’s.

We decided to sell our home in Youngsville (Patrick’s first home) after having it for a rental and having tenants in it for 3 years. So for months Patrick has been working on fixing everything over there and we actually close next week! As much as having the extra income was nice, I’ll be happy to just have our current home for awhile.

By selling our house, there are a few awesome things that will happen in 2016.

1. We will become debt free other than our current mortgage.
2. Patrick will be able to work on completing his commercial pilots license by purchasing a plane.
3. We will be renovating our home to bring my office downstairs along with updating a few other rooms.

I’ve never been so excited for a new year. I just have a feeling that it’s going to be the best year yet.
