I absolutely cannot believe that 2013 is coming to an end. In so many ways it was the perfect year provided with many new beginnings for the entire family. It was also a year full of trials and tribulations but God is good and He uses each day to grow us stronger in His word.
Every year since starting this blog I like to reflect on the past year by the month...let's see how 2013 adds up :)

So many blessings in 2013. So many trails and tribulations this year too! Lot of transition as well with Drew starting at the new Sonic, me starting at a new school, and Raegan transitioning in child care several times this year. Many other personal issues as well, but we serve an Awesome God, and He has gotten us through it all and for that we can be thankful. We are looking forward to a prosperous and a happy new year as we welcome in 2014!
Thank You God for blessing us with another year of Your love and blessings!
