It's 2016, so hard to believe that 2015 is over. It was a hard year for our family for many reasons, but it was also a great year.
What made it so difficult?
- Rob's job situation
- Having no family nearby
- Missing our son who is away at college
- Having a hard time making 'real' friends
- Losing our sweet dog, Cody
- Missing the colder New England weather
- Not feeling like our house is our home yet
- Being sick for most of the summer
- The heat...oh the awful humid heat!
- Financial difficulties
- Having my sister and her family visit us
- Being part of an amazing church family
- Making new friends
- Being a part of the women's Bible study at church
- Getting some great photography jobs
- Having our son home for the summer & breaks
- Enjoying girl time with my daughter
- Skype & Facetime calls with faraway family/friends
- Feeling closer to God than ever before
- Our family vacation to Colorado
- and lots more moments throughout the year!
These two are what I'm most proud of...
I know that God has blessed my life with an amazing husband who loves me (and to this day I have NO clue why!), and two kids who continue to amaze me on a daily basis. I am so in love with my family, and I couldn't ask for more than that.
So, why a new me? I want to be different...better than ever!
I want to....
- Grow in my walk with the Lord
- Pray more for my husband & kids
- Be the best mom I can possibly be
- Work on the outward me...lose weight, feel good etc.
- Show kindness and reach out more to others
- Keep up with this blog and write from my heart
- Live my life for the Lord & be completely transparent
- Care about what matters most, not what doesn't
- Not worry about what others think of me as much as I do
- Improve on my photography skills
- Get out of debt!
- Communicate better with others & not be so introverted
So if you think of it, pray for me. I'll be doing a lot of that myself!
