2019

What a crazy year.

Everyone in our family has had so much growth this year.

Looking at pictures from a year ago has me tearing up.

Oh time.

Such a thief...

And a gift.

I wanted to share some highlights from our year.

Always going to our favorite place!

We started the Come Follow Me curriculum this year and LOVED it. I loved the spirit it brought into our home.

December-

Sledding!






In December we have so many fun things happen. It is a month jam packed with celebrations. Our primary form of celebration is going to see Christmas lights. I love Christmas lights. There are about 7 or 8 really big displays of lights we go and see. This year it was kind of hard for me to find time for all of them. By the end of the season Jeff asked if we could officially be done looking at lights. Ha ha ha ha ha.

The kids LOVED Christmas. It seemed pretty simple this year. They still got lots and lots of new things, but the overall spirit felt simple, which I know my heart needed.

2020.... I have so many dreams for 2020....

I have lots of goals.

Like... a lot.

And honestly, it is hard for me to voice my goals out loud without feeling like I'm jinxing myself.

I have talked about them with Jeff and some of my best of friends, but other than that, it's nerve wracking to say what I want to get done, because then I feel dumb if it doesn't get done?

I've never been a competitive person...

Even with MYSELF.

As you can see.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

Some things that I am excited for with 2020 though, that I WILL say out loud...

-Studying the Book of Mormon with Come Follow Me! That will be SO awesome.
-My kids getting bigger, thus making it easier to get out and explore the world.
-Professional development opportunities for me and Jeff.
-Several vacations in the works.
-Watching our kids learn and grow both at school and home.
