At the end of 2016 my wish for 2017 was that
it would be a less tumultuous year. It certainly has been. 2017 has just been
the beginning to building a new life; to continued peace, healing, and love.
1.Snowmageddon! Boise saw more snow last January than it had in
over 30 years. We also had at least 6 school-cancelling snow days right after
Christmas break. Oh mama!
2. The kids are finally
old enough to start doing fun things as a family like day trips. (Hiking around
Malad Gorge, Picking blackberries on Eagle Island).
3.Trying
new things. I got a job teaching English online. I also became a substitute
teacher. I took a 2 1/2 week PE job that turned into a 5 1/2 week job and possibly a job in the spring coaching girls 7th grade Basketball which is pretty laughable considering my baller skillz! I took a calligraphy class. (I still have terrible handwriting and
hate to write).
5. My brother Gabe finally roped me into
running the Robie Creek half marathon with him. He’s been bugging me for years.
I use the word ‘run’ very loosely: I power walked most of it (it’s about 9
miles up hill). It’s basically a long horrible hike, but I did it! Ha.
6. Summer
Fun! We had a big Beal reunion
celebrating the Beal family farm’s 100th anniversary. We also had our first
backyard fire. Bucket list!
7. Solar
eclipse weekend was full of firsts: My in-laws made their first visit to my parents’
farm. We had our first trip to the ER, back to the hospital where I was born,
to stitch Corbin back up from a 4-wheeling accident. The ER doctor was very
patient and did an excellent job sewing him back up.
8. Our annual trip to Utah in October to visit the Cannons, harvest pumpkins, and go to FRIGHTMARES at Lagoon! Ryan even rode his first rollercoaster!
9. My first experience with lice ever!
YIKES!
10. Marriage and Parenting: The best, hardest, and most rewarding parts of my life.
