I wish I could do some long picture-filled amazing recap of 2022, but I just don't have the time right now. I do plan on catching up on November and December here soon.
I am finding it harder and harder to get to my blog to write, but I'm not ready to give it up yet. It is still my hobby and something I love to do, so it's not going completely away.
2022 was filled with ups and downs - just like every other year.
I started the year with bronchitis, got Covid on Mother's Day and had a bad cold at Christmas. I had heart testing done in the summertime which was stressful, but the good news is that everything looked good in that department.
Sadly, my uncle passed away in February, a friend from middle school passed in March at just 48 years old from cancer and Doug's dad passed from cancer as well in June. Definitely some very sad losses.
Happy and positive news from 2022 was Briana turning sweet 16, getting her driver's license and doing great in school. Doug and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in May. Doug, Bri and I traveled to Denver in April and New York City in September. We also visited Savannah, Georgia so Briana could attend a college camp at SCAD.
We saw three musicals in 2022 (Mean Girls, Beetlejuice and Anastasia), and Doug and I attended the Elton John concert in September.
Our family has a lot to look forward to in 2023 including a trip to Walt Disney World in February, a trip to Savannah in the summer so Bri can attend the SCAD camp again, Bri's senior year and both Doug and I will turn the big 5-0 in 2023.
So, I will start blogging and catching up again in a few days. Thanks again to everyone who continues to follow our journey on this blog. I am seriously one of the last China adoption bloggers left in blogland, so thanks for sticking around.
Happy New Year everyone. Stay safe and healthy.
