2014.....Let's just say I'm happy it's finally 2015. I don't want to sound too negative, but 2014 was an extremely tough year. It challenged me in ways I didn't really have time to prepare for, and it challenged me in ways I didn't know how to prepare for even when I had the chance. I turned to a lot of you this year for support, encouragement, and guidance, and I thank you for that. I'm lucky to have close friends, and I'm thankful to have family that I am close with. I am happy that I can truly say I am stronger because of 2014 and in some ways I am thankful for everything that happened because my life was truly better on January 1st 2015, than it was January 1st 2014, and even though it wasn't easy, I am always thankful for that .I really do think 2015 is going to be a better year. I had fun looking through the pictures of 2014. We sure had some fun! One thing is for sure, my boys are just the highlight of my life, all three of them.
We don't have a ton planned for 2015. Max and Laney turn 6 in a few weeks. Alex started Gymnastics. Max and Alex will both play soccer in the Spring and Max will also play tball. We might take a Spring Break trip. Max will graduate from Kindergarten - tear! We will go to the beach. We are updating our master bedroom and have big dreams for our backyard. Hopefully many many fun memories to come.
Enjoy every day, always let people know you love them, always say thank you, don't judge people, take the high road, help those who need it, be a good example, pray, have faith, hug your friends, make goals, live every day in a way that makes you happy.
Enjoy some pictures - Throw back 2014
