2013 has been a rollercoaster year for us! We’ve had soaring highs and difficult lows.
2013, the year that was…
The Pits of 2013
- Marking one year of our house being on the market with no success.
- Having trouble with the sellers of the house we wanted and eventually having to pull out of the sale.
- Spending over two months apart during our house move.
- James losing his job.
- Illness and hospital stays for my sister and mother and father in law.
The Peaks of 2013
- Selling our flat.
- Having our beautiful baby girl, Sophia.
- The birth of our sweet little niece, Florence.
- Getting to spend lots of time with my family during the time I was staying in Ludlow.
- Sophia’s christening.
- Celebrating 2 years of marriage and 6 years together.
- My mum getting her teaching qualification.
- Becoming closer to my Dad, Grandparents and step family.
- Moving to our new house.
- Adding Smudge to our family.
- James being offered a new job.
- Celebrating Christmastime with all the people we love.
Even in the times when we seem to have had a string of bad luck, I’m so grateful for the life I have. Having Sophia has made me look at life differently and realise that we are here for such a short time that we should enjoy every moment of the life we have and to show love to the people we care about. I feel so incredibly blessed to have every single family member and friend in my life and I hope that 2014 is a year which brings everyone happiness!
Happy new year from The Smith Family.xxx
