Wow, ya'll. WHAT a year!
In 2013, I declared that I had the best year of my life after giving birth to Emersyn, buying our first home, and Ethan's first full year of being home for good.
While it was a great year, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that 2014 topped that!
Here are some of the highlights/most memorable moments of our 2014:
-I chopped my hair off and rocked a mean "lob"
-Celebrated my 23rd birthday
-Became a stay-at-home mom in February (I like to say I acquired my dream job!)
-Saw several of my best friends get married throughout the year
-Went to Chicago on a romantic getaway with my hubby in May
-Saw Paul McCartney in concert with my Dad on his birthday weekend... a lifelong wish come true!
-Started my own business with Thirty-One at the end of April
-Cut my hand open and got 6 stitches
-Celebrated three years of marriage in June
-Had Emersyn dedicated to the Lord on Mothers Day
-Took our first family vacation to Wisconsin Dells in July
-Ethan got a new position at work in operations
-Celebrated our sweet Emersyn turning 1 in September (I hope to always remember the way she chowed down that cake!)
-Met some lifelong friends through bible study- I can't imagine doing life without these wonderful women!
-Paid off an entire student loan through Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University
-Celebrated my sister's golden 20th birthday in October
-Completed many home decorating projects... our house is finally feeling like HOME! We finished Emersyn's bathroom, our playroom, and did a lot of decorating in our bedroom & living room.
-Created this blog! :)
As I look back on 2014, I cannot help but be overwhelmed by how much the Lord has blessed us. We are so thankful for His presence in our lives and for how time & time again, He continues to surprise us with the goodness He has for us that is beyond what we could have ever planned or imagined.
We look forward to 2015- there is going to be lots of cleaning, organizing, exercising, decorating, vacationing, and so much more this year! We hope you will keep up with us on this blog- which is going to be getting a major facelift in the coming months! I hope to blog much more regularly than I did in 2014, now that I'm out of the whole "taking care of a newborn survival mode" stage ;)
Blessings to you all & HAPPY NEW YEAR!
