There's lots to look forward to in the year ahead. For better or worse, I'm a planner who loves to have events to look forward to. I find that enjoyable events lead me ahead in life and help me to make good decisions with regard to my finances and other choices. So as I think about the year ahead, here's what I'm looking forward to.
Immediate family events
Of course, like most people, I always look forward to events with my immediate family including my husband, children and their loved ones. These events include travel, athletic contests, hiking, biking, beach trips, family dinners, and helping one another when we can.
Childhood-family events
Time with my childhood family mostly includes holidays, family celebrations, and once-a-year hiking trip. Our children look forward to these events when we replicate many of the happy adventures and celebrations we had as children including mountain hikes, weddings, graduations, and other special moments.
Extended family events
We have our twice a year extended family/friend beach meet-up and holiday party. There's also holiday gatherings that include many extended family members.
Friend events
With friends we gather for dinner, adventures, and celebrations too.
Onward
