For every season, there is a time. These were my most memorable seasons of 2010, which, was, in my books, one of the most roller coaster years of my life. Enjoy!
January: The uncertainty of how we would survive with Julien losing his job and me on unpaid mat leave. The relief at him finding a new one closer to home. The sheer and utter fear of me taking a trans atlantic trip with my difficult little one by myself. The relief when the trip was over.
February: Doubt about me giving in my notice at work. The clarity when Julien's Canadian visa arrived 18 months ahead of time. The joy of seeing my family and pride at being in Vancouver during the olymipcs.
March-April-May: The stress of organizing an international move and selling our apartment. The sadness at saying goodbye to all of our friends and family in France. The excitement of starting something new and happiness at seeing our loved ones on this side of the ocean.
June: The concern when Julien wasn't being called for any interviews. The peace that came when he started his new job just 3 weeks after we arrived on Canadian soil.The worry when the sale on our apartment fell through. The surprise and elation at finding out we were having another baby.
July: Devastation and guilt felt after having a miscarriage. The joy in meeting our new little niece Aeden.
August: The blood, sweat, and tears of boot camp. Frustration that our little one was still not sleeping through the night.
September: Fun on a road trip to the interior.
October: Fear of putting Charlotte into day care. Exitement to start my new job; dissapointment when I was laid off before even starting (company downsizing)
November: Fatigue and illness after contracting mono along with Charlotte. Joy and relief at finding another buyer for our apartment.
December: Nervousness at an interview.Excitement when I got the job. Confidence on my first day. The wonder of a little one when seeing the Christmas tree lit up with presents underneath. The gratefulness for Jesus coming to this earth to save me from myself.
All in all, it was a memorable year. Here's to 2011 being just as momentous! Happy New Year everybody!
