A New Year...

2012 has come and gone. 

I have to say, this was a tough one. Our family learned a lot this year. Humility. Patience. Trust in God's plan. 

We grew in a lot of places to. In our marriage. As parents. As followers of Christ. As friends.

We have stumbled and picked ourselves up. We've felt broken and put the pieces back together. We have felt loss and prayed until it didn't hurt (much). 

We have also felt much joy. We've made new friends, we've grown with our "old" friends, we joined a small group and stretched ourselves even more than we thought we could.

This year has been so full. Of emotions. Of Joy. Of Sadness. Of Surprises. Of Blessings.

As Cuinn and I looked back on our year, I think we're both happy to bid this year adieu and welcome a new one. This year isn't a fresh start, it's just another chapter in our story.

This year we welcome a new baby. This year my family will all be home. This year there will be moves. This year is going to be another year of changes.

And we are so excited.

Happy New Year, friends!
