2012 – thanks for the memories…

January 1, 2013 By Donna Webeck

This morning as I closed the calendar on 2012 I finally found myself with a rare moment to reflect on the crazy year that was.

I’m not sure how it keeps happening but with every passing year life seems to ramp up another gear and we find ourselves operating at an even faster pace. It has definitely been the busiest we’ve known as a family, but looking back on it I know it was all worth it. The Husband has had his most successful year yet and even though that also equates to him being absent more than ever, I’m confident in the long run these seeds he is sewing will be handsomely reaped.

There’s been plenty of other events to celebrate besides the Husband’s accomplishments; the most memorable highlight of course was discovering we’d soon be welcoming a new addition to our little family in early parts of 2013! Like all pregnancies it has its amazing moments and it’s less fun hormone fuelled ones… And considering the 3rd trimester has kicked off, it wont be long at all until the little one is along to meet us!

We also got to meet our gorgeous new godson in November, our little mate who was in such a hurry to enter this world he decided to come 7 weeks early! Isn’t he divine?

My own writing goals got a work out too – short-listed in a local creative writing competition, just under 43,000 words on my manuscript are complete, 94 blog posts went live, and my best ever year yet with seeing my name in print (and earning an income from some of it – FINALLY!). The foundation is in place to build on in 2013 –  baby permitting of course! 
There’s also been A Night At The Voice, meeting my writing idol Paullina Simmons, a long overdue family holiday (where the Husband get to fulfil a lifelong dream!), plus sneaking in a completely decadent TWO city breaks sans husband and child this year! 
So as I say farewell to 2012 I’ll remember it fondly, (even with the franticness!) thanks to it being peppered with many special times with our amazing extended family. We’ve been lucky that even though time and distance separates us often, we still manage to make the time and effort to be together. So even if we don’t get the quantity we would if we lived close by, whenever we’re together we get quality. And I’d take that any day.
Roll on in 2013, I’m ready to take you for all you’ve got to offer!

    It really does sound like 2012 was wonderful for your family. I hope that 2013 does even better and finds you all happy, healthy and fulfilled.

    Those are beautiful photos. Your smile (I’ve long though) is just dazzling. Pure joie.
