Graduating Losing all this weight, again Finishing my book Reading more fiction Applying to a grad program Taking the kids to one of the amusement parks near us
I have been thinking about you guys. I hope there are some fresh leads in the new year for him!
Thank you.
I hope you're right about the fresh leads, because this is hard. Financially we're doing fine for now, which I'm thankful. But emotionally it is really draining & discouraging.
He's been diligently applying but not hearing anything back, hopefully places are just on auto pilot during the holiday season & he'll start getting some more interviews after New Years.

Our new house! We are building our first home right now and will close in a couple of months. We have planned and saved for this for the last decade, so it is a long time coming, and I cannot wait!
Also hoping that 2016 brings me another pregnancy, but that's on the back burner til we are settled into the new house. Not super thrilled about the pregnancy part, but I have serious baby fever.
Me too! We are also building so it is going to be a stressful year until our estimated closing date of Nov. 1st but I am excited to watch the progress!
-Fixing our house and getting that behind us -Finally reaching my pre-pregnancy weight, I'm so close -a real holiday with just my little family -potentially starting my own business
This is interesting! What kind of business are you thinking about?
I'm still in the beginning stages of research and December has put it on hold. But basically trying to replicate a service I experienced in Britain when pregnant. If it looks like there is a demand, and I got the idea from talking local to moms, then I am going to try it. I don't think it will create millions, but it is something I would like to do and it would be interesting.
Looking forward to getting into a groove with DD (no longer a newborn!), paying down some debt and maybe taking some kind of family trip. Nothing solid planned though.
- Being done with pumping. No specific end time in sight but it will happen at some point this year. - figuring out my job situation. Lots of changes, but not sure how things will shake out for me financially. - getting back in shape. Specifically getting back into strength training so everything tightens up. - joining a new gym. O.range Theory is opening near me so I've signed up to try that. I need to work out with other people so I work harder. I miss crossfit for that reason!
humpforfree - what races are you signing up for? I am going to start running again in the new year. I started strong soon after DD was born, then got sick and fell off the fitness wagon.

Frederick 1/2 is my number 1. My reach goal is marine Corp full. I may do the Charles st 12 miler depending on where I am in training.
