How was your year???

Can't believe I haven't posted anything since March but most of the year was consumed with triathlons, which I consistently posted on my training site.

But, outside of racing we did have a great year.  We were blessed to have many visitors this year and we appreciated seeing so many of our family and friends throughout the year.  We had to reschedule a planned vacation but hope to do that early in 2015.

We celebrated Lane's 1 year anniversary as a member of the Bell family and while she has had some health issues this past year we have a new vet that has done a wonderful job of helping us manage those issues.  Yes, she is SPOILED.  She has beds in most of the rooms in our house, 2 in our bedroom, numerous toys and bones to occupy her and a good start to a hand me own Vera Bradley collection.  We did have a fence installed so she has a pretty good side backyard that she can roam. Although she usually stays close to the house.

It's still hard for us to believe that we have been in Texas for over 2 years.  Maryland chaos life seems so far away and we are thankful for that - although we do miss all of our DMV family.  Rob continues to head back to MD twice a year so he is lucky enough to visit family and friends - I'm very jealous!

Our house continues to be work in progress, still so much to do in the yard and trying to decorate - but we are comfortable with the way things are and in no hurry to get things done and prefer spending our time as a family.

As the year comes to a close, I realize I'm lucky that I have been able to find a great balance between work and life.  I'm happy that my priorities in life are me, Rob, Lane and everything else!

I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas with high hopes for 2015!

I can't make any promises that I'll be better about posting update - FB, email or a phone call might be better ways to get the latest and greatest with the Bell's.
