Before I embrace the new year, I have a few final words regarding 2013. The year 2013 marked ten years of Chris and Kim as a couple. In November 2003, Chris asked me to be his girlfriend. I said yes, and for the next ten years we accumulated a lot of stuff. I know you expected me to say something sappier, such as "for the next ten years we accumulated a lot of love," or "for the next ten years we accumulated a lot of memories." Read through my blog and you will know that Chris and I accumulated an immeasurable number of these things. Right now, however, I am focusing on the tangible and that means the stuff.
The first time Chris and I moved, we moved in our vehicles.
The next move required a small moving truck and a trailer.
The next move required the biggest moving truck available. That's a lot of stuff, especially when you consider that we started with nothing but clothing, a few electronics, a couple of bikes, and our respective vehicles.
What should I strive for in 2014? More love, more adventures, more stories? Absolutely. More stuff? Probably not, although that's easier said than done.
Here's to a new year filled with the intangible.
