Goodbye 2016!

[HoneySpider]

Are you happy or sad to see this year end?

[HoneySpider]

I'm sad to see 2016 go. For the first time in many years, I didn't have any really low lows. This was a great year for me. So blessed to have our baby boy!

suzv I very much agree with the last part of your post!

It's been an interesting year. Bad because of losing GMIL, IL's dog (rough year for them!), and just the general tone of the country right now. A lot of anger and hate going around and it's frustrating.

But it's also been a good year. Getting a new job, watching E grow, all the weddings especially being in my BFF's wedding, our vacation out east, etc.

I'm looking forward to 2017 and hope it's a better year!

I am both sad and optimistic. 2016 was one of my favorite years. C and I hit our groove and had a blast before L was born...so thankful for that time with just him. We sold our house and moved, which was a great decision. L is here and is more amazing than I thought possible!! And, I got the joy of seeing little miracles like HoneySpider awick14 suzv babies finally arriving!

I am excited got 2017 though! I have a lot of personal and family goals I hope to achieve. Hoping to get involved with other mom's, go to Disneyland a ton, have fun with my parents, do things as a family, get L sleeping and C potty trained, and get back into running again (along with a while long list of other things that need to get done)! Speaking of...i weighed myself yesterday and I am back to pre pg weight!! Happy New Year to me...now I just need to lose 5- 6 more lbs and I will be very happy!

2016 was fabulous and I'm pretty sure 2017 won't be quite as good, but hopefully I'm wrong

Hubby loves his job. I love my volunteer positions. Our house is done enough to feel comfortable here. Baby S arrived and has been a complete joy. M learned to talk and we discovered his SPD which has allowed us to get him into the proper therapies and schedules to lead us all to a much better life. We got a great new car. My family moved closer. We took a fun vacation. We're ending the year with a strong relationship.

Only downsides were unexpected financial changes that have made things very tight, and neither kid really sleeping through the night. Hopefully both improve in 2017!

2016 like every year had its ups and downs. L was born, I feel like I am doing great in my job, and I made some great friends. Downs were that H tore his patellar tendon and had to have surgery and our car accident.

2017 looks to have good things in store. H graduates in May and will finally get a job and we can start clearing our land to build our house.

I am happy to see 2016 go because it has been quite trying with DS's health and I am hoping 2017 is a healthier year for him.

Of course there were good parts too and I am dreading the incoming president so I do have some hesitancy about 2017.

It's hard to say. On a personal level (aside from losing my grandpa), the second half of 2016 was fabulous. We moved closer to family. I feel like I came into my stride as a mother more, and better understand R's needs than I did those first few months of his life. I'm happier in our home than I was in our previous location. My marriage found a good groove. So basically, part of me worries "what chips will fall in 2017?"

2016 was a big year for me. I've taken huge steps forward with both my physical and mental health, I graduated from college, I got a substantial promotion and moved into a new job field, I got to start working from home, we brought home our Gus-dog...

When I think about it, I don't really have any feelings about this year ending. I don't view years as completely separate entities, I guess. On a personal level, I am feeling very hopeful for 2017, though.

Hi. Before I answer I should let you know that you know me as a different name that had my profession in it 😉

2016 can suck it! It was a rough year. Between DH hurting his back, having surgery, losing his job, me getting hurt and then out of work.

We are ending on a high note. We are having a great vacation. I feel like MIL and I have gotten closer. I did a bunch of outlet shopping too. I also start working on the 4th! Same company.

I feel like 2016 was a year to really learn my new role as a Mom. It was definetly a learning year. Man, am I blessed!

I hope 2017 is wonderful! But I will focus on being very gentle with myself and all of my relationships!

Mixed feelings from me. Miscarriage and H's job loss weren't fun, but overall it was a very fun year, and DS has been an absolute blast as he's become a toddler and started talking like crazy. Let's say I appreciate all the good things the year brought, but I'm ready for a fresh start!

2016 definitely had its great moments for us, but I am truly looking forward to every month in 2017. So many awesome and exciting things going on in our house. I think this will be one of our greatest years thus far being married! Cannot wait for absolutely everything

2016 was a great year on a personal level; I became a mom and love it. My DS is the best and I love SAH with him. H and I are in a good groove; seeing him excel as a dad is the best!

2017 gets a big :N: in relation to the cheeto BUT I'm excited for all the milestones DS will hit! It's so fun to watch him grow & learn. (heart)
