i’d never bah humbug christmas. i love christmas. i loved this christmas. if i ever get around to blogging regularly again, i’ll even write about it. it’s a shame the only pictures i got were scarce and only on my phone this year, although not constantly trying to document and capture certainly has its perks. we missed being with family in tennessee, but staying home for once was really nice.
i’m feeling very bah humbug about the new year. last year’s was so full of hope and excitement, but this year i couldn’t feel more opposite. some things didn’t pan out as planned in 2012 so i’m having a hard time appreciating where we are and where we are headed from here in the new year. wish there was a fast forward button somewhere though. i’m longing for christmas 2013 and january 2014 already… and i don’t think this is my ocd about even numbers talking… pessimism as a defense mechanism? that’s a thing right?
p.s. picture from this sunday. we took a series with smiles and funny faces and such, but this one sums up our roles right now pretty perfectly.
p.s.s. won’t leave you with such a debbie downer post without a real debbie downer to lighten the mood. here’s debbie downer’s christmas from snl.
Keep Hope Freya!! Not that I know EXACTLY how you feel but I do. To sum up my feelings for 2013 is hopeful. Many wonderful blessings will come to you and Brett whether they are specific ones you long for or not. Love ya girl!
Lunch date asap. We need to get together girl.
You are sad we are moving…aren’t you?
Freya, I wrote a post like this once on my birthday. I love you girl. This doesn’t at all lessen the hurt, but when things weren’t turning out for me the way I had always planned, I remember striving to hold onto the idea that this was an opportunity for me to “prove myself” to Him, and we all need those opportunities in big and small things. I feel like I am seriously preaching to the choir because, hello, it’s Freya I am talking to here. You are one of the most faithful and wonderfullest (yes, it’s a word) people I’ve ever known. But I just thought I’d share that thought:) I wish I could bring you a big, giant vegan cupcake and a big, giant hug right now!
First of all, it is sooo nice to not worry about taking pictures sometimes. I never regret it in the moment (to not have everyone rolling their eyes or trying to escape from you is always nice…) but afterwards I get so sad that I don’t have any pictures…its a tricky little thing.
And, we both need to get back on the blogging regularly train. New Year’s resolution perhaps?
And most importantly, 2012 made us better friends than ever, so that was worth it, right? :) I know it seems like you just can’t catch a break right now, but 2013 is chock full of potential and solutions. I wish so desperately that you didn’t have to go through disappointment, but all I can say is you are so great. You can do this. It’s okay to be sad sometimes. It will get better. (All of this I know you know, but sometimes its nice to hear someone else say it.)
We love you so much and constantly have you guys in our prayers. I don’t know what else to say other than I am always here for you…..and we love you more than words can express! Good things will come in 2013–even if they seem to be a day late and a dollar short right now.
