Well folks, I just finished the 2nd draft of my thesis. This darn thing has been consuming my life lately! I'm feeling pretty accomplished about the whole thing. Of course I still need to meet with my advisor and find out what changes I need to make for draft 3.
Other than that, not too much excitement... eat, sleep, work, play (mainly indoors because I abhor Winnipeg winters).

Happy New Year!
It's been quite a year for us! We bought a house and moved in February. I went back to work in April. We finally got K settled into the daycare of our choice in September after going through a few temporary childcare options.
We (and I really mean E) spent way too much time renovating a house in spring and well into summer. Sadly this one was a bust and we didn't make any money. It may be a very long time before we even consider doing another renovation, if ever.
In July we spent a cold rainy week out in the Whiteshell in a cabin. K took his first steps while I was out of the room.
In early December we took a cruise in the Carribean with E's parents. It was amazing, the most wonderful weather I've ever encountered! We didn't really want to come back to Canada. So naturally we dreaming about owning a winter home in some tropical area... dreams are free right?!
All during which I've been plugging away at my MSW thesis, sometimes more diligently than others. As of now, I'm working on my 2nd draft. It's going pretty well at this point.
E is still working for the provincial government and I'm still working at the university, so not everything changes.
However, this next year we will have a big change, a baby girl in April (unless she's really early). We are so excited to have a little sister for K! We've already gotten out of our small car lease and bought a mini van. Yep, full fledged parent mode these days!
So the things I'm looking forward to this year... well lots of things! Having our little girl join the family, finishing my thesis, and doing some creative writing on topics other than the one I've been on for the past couple of years!
