January Review

It seems like January just flew by! I struggled a little bit mentally, but I'm thankful that it didn't turn into a full blown depressive episode.

In January we celebrated my oldest son's 29th birthday. (I'm pretty sure I'm not old enough to have a 29 year old son.) We celebrated R's birthday by having friends over for lunch and games. I finally got to sign some important papers that have been in the works since 2014. R got good news at his kidney doctor's appointment and doesn't have to go back until next January, unless he has problems.

For our out of the house date this month we went to lunch at Olive Garden and spent the day shopping.

Now let's check in on my goals.
