Happy New Year everyone. I hope that 2014 if filled with love, family, laughter, growth and so much more for each and everyone of you.
I am kind of sad to say goodbye to 2013. This past year has been one of those years where nothing major happened. We lived our lives in peace, love, and security. I hope that the upcoming year will be more of the same.
We have had several trying years (2008-2012). During these years we were challenged with adoption issues, ongoing health issues, multiple surgeries, and a major accident. It got to the point where I wondered if we would ever have a year of health and peace. I am so thankful that for us 2013 was just that. This is one of those years that I could do over again and not care.
Our highlights for 2013
- Caleb rocked both the SAT and ACT (tied for highest score in our school).
- Madilyn started kindergarten, and loves it.
- Caleb started his senior year and reality is hitting him that he is growing up and needs to make some decisions about his life after high school.
- We made the hard decision to change churches. It truly was the best decision for our family. Once again we feel like we are learning and growing and not stagnate.
- We were blessed to be able to take a family cruise and visit places we had never been before.
- I got to go on a once in a life time trip with Caleb to London and Paris. It was super fun to get to take him to these places. I learned a lot about my son on this trip.
