New Years Eve did not suck, which has been our mantra this holiday season as the past 8 months have really sucked. Not sure my one word for 2018 can be a phrase "this doesn't suck." Kristen was at Samie's, Kate was at SEMO, and Wil went to a friends house. After many tears I go my shit semi together and we went to a neighbors house about 8, started with more tears as it is hard to see people you haven't seen in awhile. I'm sure we all have a bit of PTSD (heck I'm sure I have a ton, with my nightmares, but working through it). We hung with some old friends and some new ones and the evening ended very nicely. We are hopeful for the new year, but very cautious. Wil has a wicked cough and we start back to work/school. We will take the new year a day at a time and continue to plan for fun things to do in the future to keep our motivation going.
