2019 Prediction Results

2019 was a pretty great year- let's see how my predictions from January 1st ended up!

I wasn't very creative last year, so I'm going to be more bold this year with my predictions:

1. Bronocs will have another losing season with a head coach who is perfectly incompetent. Seahawks will get a Wild Card spot again. Just about nailed this. But, I wouldn't call their head coach, Vic Fangio, completely incompetent. I think he needs more time, but will be OK. Seahawks missed getting the #3 seed by two inches on a last second play that was almost, but not quite, a touchdown- so wild card seed it is.

2. I'll be released from my church calling. While I still love Public Affairs, I have an inkling that my time might be coming. We will see. Yes. Though this wasn't a surprise, I was still heartbroken. But, I do have a lot less stress now.
3. 45 will resign or be indicted. I suppose indicted is not the same as impeached, but it is pretty close, isn't it?

4. Audra will choose not to do soccer but to do drama instead. I found out that once again her team has dissolved, so I'm thinking maybe she will choose a different activity other than soccer. She is still playing soccer, and doing drama. She tried out for the middle school musical and is VERY excited to participate starting next week!

5. Our church will announce home based seminary and the youth only meeting twice a month instead of every week. Why not? They are announcing all kinds of crazy things lately. Nope, but I'm still hoping!
6. We will be in another recession. Nope.

7. We will get a pet. The girls are really starting to wear on us in regards to a pet. Blah. Somehow we have still avoided this. It helps that Audra is allergic to a cat. Dog walking also helps.

8.Ben will get a promotion. He doesn't want one, or is looking for one, but there is suddenly a lot of dramatic changes happening at his work, and Ben is pretty brilliant so I have a feeling they will ask him to step up and he will be compelled to do so. No. Things are pretty crazy for him at work, and there are a lot of changes, but so far they have not asked him to go into management. Which is good. He has no desire to be in management and would be very unhappy.
9. Audra will finally get her own room while Claire and Camille start sharing. YES! And, everyone is happy with the arrangement. 

10. No flares for me! Fingers crossed, here is hoping. After lots of meds (and 2 years of HELL), I am finally in remission. There is no cure for Ulcerative Colitis, so the goal is to stay in remission as long as possible before another flare comes. Right now, I am feeling great. I predict I will feel great for the year. Here's hoping! No flares, the meds are still working. I am also seeing an acupuncturist who I think helps. I have days where my stomach is bothering me, and I did have a slight increase in my inflammation numbers, but they are back down now.
