The last day of the year....

Wow-

Here it is...the last day of the year. It has been a great year full of new memories, stress, laughter, love, growth, and uncertainty.

Some of the highlights...

We welcomed our precious second born son early in the year. The delivery went very well and were so happy to have a brother for Adam and another gorgeous boy. He is such a blessing in our lives.

We went on several trips this past year- Colorado twice, camping twice, New Mexico, and several weekend trips to see my parents.

I lost my job..no, I didn't get fired. :) I was blessed with the perfect job for two years. I remember two years ago when my babysitter told me around Christmas that she didn't have much longer to live. It was so heartbreaking. On top of the sadness, there was stress because I wanted to be home with Adam so badly. Evie asked me to work for her and it worked out perfectly time-wise. Now we are trusting Him to provide again. My job is done technically today so now we keep praying and searching for another way I can help provide while at home with my precious sons.

We had a great adjustment having two children. I love our kids and am so excited that they are starting to play together...and get frustrated. :)

My last highlight is labeled "relationships".... On the positive end of that I am thankful that this past year we have become close to Eric and Kim Brumm. We love them. I also got to experience the birth of Abram Jensen and that just blessed my socks off. On the not-so-positive end, this year has been hard to hear of several marriages that have ended or are headed in that direction. It's just so hard to understand. So heavy on my heart. I love my husband...:)
















I have some goals this year... all doable I hope :)

- I am going to really try hard to get rid of my sugar addictive. I hope to start tomorrow...we'll see.

- I would like to get my son potty-trained. He just isn't ready yet... and I am! Hoping he's not a 4 year old who still wears diapers. :)

- I would like to get a job, or a few small jobs to pay our bills!

- I have several crafts I would like to do. I love pinterest and am enjoying the ideas it gives me.

- I have several organizing tasks that need to be done.

- I want to be a better Momma... a much more patient mom. I love those kids and want to show them Christ through my example. I also want to play and read to them more. They are growing up so quickly and I don't want my to-do list to be more important than them..because it's not.

- I want to memorize scripture with Adam. He is a sponge right now...

I have more, but that looks like plenty right now.

Have a good rest of the year!
