I filled the year 2013 to the brim- tried a “real food”
menu, got my license for school counseling, went to Disney World, vacationed in
the Virginia mountains, camped in Idaho, attended two of my dear friends weddings, joined the leadership team for kids
ministry at church, ran a half marathon and… started a blog J.
Tyler and I finished the year making many memories with
friends and family over the holidays. We were blessed to host Thanksgiving with
friends (our “Lynchburg family”). I made a TURKEY for the first time- believe
it or not- and it turned out pretty good! I also made a “real food” sweet
potato casserole and green bean casserole. I have really grown from my boxed
mac-and-cheese days…
We also celebrated our 3rd year of marital bliss on December 11th. Three years baby! I can truly say I love that man more and more every day.
For Christmas, we travelled to Seabrook, Washington to
celebrate with the Harris/Fenske family.
We stayed in a beautiful ocean view
beach house. The week was full of games, a Christmas pageant, and sing along to
Abba. Needless to say, we laughed until we peed our pants. Literally.
For New Year’s, we enjoyed a New England style celebration
with our “Lynchburg family” complete with Chinese food and the game Hedbanz. Just
picture six of us with nouns strapped to our foreheads, trying to guess what
the word is on our own head, and one of us has the word “Nude Beach.”
Priceless.
My dad’s family also came to visit for the weekend. It was
so good to spend sweet time with them. My siblings are growing up way too fast…
my youngest sister, Zoe, turns 13 this year. Wasn’t I just 13 the other day?!
Thought for the day: Don’t move too fast through the day.
Soon it will be gone… Slow down, look for the little blessings in life. Count
them, breathe, enjoy life.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday celebrating time with
the ones you love!
Stay tuned for Tyler and I’s first adventure of 2014…
HAWAII. More info this week!
