I've kept this blog for a few years now. I thought it an unexpected milestone when I hit 10 years, now with 2025 we've rolled into 17 years of blogging. I thought it an unexpected milestone when I hit 700 posts, which now the blogspot is past 1000 posts. Could I turn philosophical and perseverate on the meaning behind this, perhaps relating it to goal setting, or considering realistic expectations, or the unexpected way life unfolds? Of course I could, and if I'm honest each tangent is unfolding in my brain right now. But at the same time, false pontification is not the mood I'm in at the moment. So instead I'll just say...
Happy 2025!
It's going to be another wild ride of a year. I turn 40 this year. Jake and I have our 2nd anniversary this year. Lord willing, we will move long term to Honduras this year. Each of those statements hard to believe. But we're buckled up and ready, here we go! We traveled with the Stoller family over Christmas, and had a couple days at home over the New Year's holiday before heading to the East Coast. Attending New Year's Eve service, praying together with our West Lafayette family, it seemed real and heavy that this time next year could potentially look very different. I am trying to make a point of slowing down and enjoying what life has for us this year. Not necessarily a New Years resolution, but rather just reflecting a change of season, or different stage of life, acknowledging that life is happening quickly and I don't want to miss any of it, or spend it overly stressed and unable to recognize joy in the process.
End of 2024.
