2020 Year in Review

The year 2020 is quickly approaching its end. This year, too, the blog "Porsche came to our house.Thank you very much for your visit to our website and for your support.

In today's article, we decided to take a moment to reflect on the past year, as it is the end of the year.

Just this time last year, I found out that I had a new life in my belly, and I immediately began to experience morning sickness.

I was just about to start elementary school and kindergarten for my children, and I was ready to put more effort into blogging, but then I got pregnant... Raising two children is hard enough, but three?

I remember spending the first trimester of my pregnancy feeling happy, of course, but also anxious.

I have a constitution that causes severe morning sickness, so I was unable to drive the car much due to vomiting and lethargy, and for a while I had to reduce the frequency of blog updates and ask my husband to help me write articles.

At that time, "When you are in the stable period, go on a family road trip a little farther away from homeI struggled with morning sickness with the encouragement that "I'm not going to get sick," but the world has changed so much in the wake of the coronavirus that I ended up not going on a single road trip this year.

But I have a personality that gets on easily during pregnancy.(I was pretty overwhelmed with the older two)I am now thinking that, considering my age, I am probably glad that I was forced to stay home and be quiet this year.

In addition, we are no longer able to drive as casually as we used to.The enjoyment and richness that riding in a car gives usI have come to feel more strongly about the

And this year has also seen me meet and part with new cars: in July, my first car, theWe said goodbye to our BMW 320i (MT).The 320i allowed me to drive a MT car and opened the door to a new world for me, so it was a hard decision to part with it, but I am sure the 320i will remain a car that will stay with me for a long time.

Then in September.911 Cabriolet (Type 992)And no way.Cayenne E-Hybridhas arrived. It was so much like "I don't like SUVs.My husband used to say that the Cayenne was so comfortable and had such great driving performance that he now says, "I'm not sure I'll ever be able to drive it again.I hope this one rides for a long, long time!He says (laughs).

Such was the year my husband was able to rediscover the appeal of Porsche by driving the 911 Cabriolet and GT3 on the circuit, participating in a test drive at the Taikan circuit, and completing the inspection of his Boxster and 964.

In addition, I get to test drive cars owned by readers and acquaintances on a weekly basis, and I have more opportunities to post reports on my blog!(It seems I still have a lot of test drive articles that need to be written lol)

In the meantime, I successfully gave birth to my third son in August. Although my husband was not able to be present in Corona, both mother and child were healthy, and thanks to all the help I received, my son is almost 4 months old.

Since he is seven years apart from my older son, and since he is my first boy, I am raising him every day in a state of melodramatic doting, and I am in a state of "I think my son is going to have a bad upbringing.I'm a little nervous about it (laughs).

Looking back, 2020 was a year that flew by, even denser than usual. I feel that it was because of the support of so many people in so many different situations that we were able to run through the year even under these circumstances.

Thank you very much indeed.

Today is my last post for this year, and I will be taking a break from blogging for a while to relax during the year-end and New Year holidays. And next year, I hope to continue to share our car life with our family in good health and good spirits in our own way, so please continue to read "A Porsche Came to Our House" with us.

I wish you all a happy new year.
