This morning, as I lay on the couch with no particular duties to complete today, I can't help but think back over the past year. What a blessing it truely has been. Sure there have been some hard times (really, really hard times) but there's also been lots of growth, blessings, love, and good 'ole nature fun mixed in there. This has honestly been one of my best years yet. I got to marry the man I love and be able to celebrate that special day with the people we care about most. I moved to a strange, big, new city, that took a lot of getting use to. But I've come to call it home. It will be the first place Matt and I ever called home together. I've made some great new friends and been able to stay close to those back home, despite the miles. That in itself is blessing enough. My mom has been through surgery and cancer removal and come out just fine on the other side of both, praise God. And I've really learned what the true meaning of family seems to be. I realize now that they aren't just a 10 min car ride away, how much I miss my parents and that little town I grew up in that, really, I didn't know if I'd miss it or not. But with the close of 2013, I'm looking forward to all 2014 has to offer and I plan on making it the best year yet. Happy New Year to you and yours!
