2023 Predictions

  As is my yearly tradition... I like to try to make predictions for the next year.  I love re-reading these blogs on New Years Eve, and seeing how my predictions went.  


  • I think that we are giving up on having a second baby.  Our fertility treatments didn't go our way this year, and baby items/clothes are starting to stack up on us.  I think I'm going to start selling our stuff and moving on.  I'm sad for Kayla on most likely becoming an only child, but that feels like where we are at.
  • We are going to go to Disneyland and San Diego this March.  I'm excited to go out there!  I'm excited to see Disneyland and the San Diego Zoo.
  • We are also planning on going to Mrytle Beach in July at the same time as Krista and her family.  We are excited to go there during peak season.
  • We loved the cruise we took in 2022 so much that we booked another one for next November.
  • 3M is laying off 10,000 people, so that does make things a bit stressful.  I'm hoping that my job will be unaffected.
  • I hope that I will continue to be able to work a couple days from home throughout 2023.
  • Cody will most likely stay at Huntington Beach, but could possibly put in a transfer request to a reservation closer to our home.
  • Kayla is doing really well with her school and moved into preschool early.
  • Kayla just started going to a "big girl" dance class without mommy.  We will probably be working to move her into a "big girl" gymnastics class this year.
  • We want to work on Kayla's speech development and learning how to handle big emotions this year.
  • I think that we are going to spend a lot of time at Cedar Point this summer/fall.
  • We have monthly dates planned with Gigi and Papa this year.

Gatlinburg Trip 2024

 This year we went back to Gatlinburg!  We really enjoyed our trip 3 years ago and figured it was time to give it a try again.  We got up at...
