The Love List (Reflection 6)



Image result for year end
There was a section in between about sex lives, but I decided to skip answering the questions for that one. This current section mentions sitting down once each year to go over the highlights of the past year. While going over these highlights create a list of the top 10 things that happened as a couple throughout the year. Do not reflect on negatives during this time, only the good.

1. When you think about starting this little tradition of reviewing your year, what kinds of feelings does it conjure up? What do you like and dislike about it? This idea actually excites me! I keep coming up with ways to keep track of important events. The only thing I am nervous about is getting Nate on the same page as me and making sure it is something he would be interested in doing.

2. Is there a specific time that would work best for the two of you to do this? No need to focus only on January 1 of each year. Maybe your anniversary or another date would work best. What do you think? Nate and I have been talking about making a tradition of going on a trip each year, often driving to Maryland making stops along the way. We typically stay at a bed and breakfast for a night or two and explore the city. This would probably be the perfect time to do our yearly review.

3. How would you like to go about preserving your memories together? Journal? Photos? Video? Who will be responsible for collecting and organizing the results, or will you share that task? Keeping the memories together throughout the year I have various ideas for, not sure which ones we will use yet. This task will probably be shared. The memories at the end of the year I would like to make into a video including photos and music. Deciding what we want will be a joint task, putting it together will probably be my task.

4. What will constitute a highlight for the two of you to record? Anything that we enjoyed together and made us happy.

5. How would you like to celebrate your highlights? Does your style lend itself to an informal family night looking at photos or a yearly dinner or dessert that is just for the two of you? Something that is informal and meaningful only to us. We don't need to do anything fancy as long as we find it meaningful
