2013 what a year. Its been a whirlwind and it seemed like it went by in a blink of an eye. Ups and downs, highs and lows. Filled with lots of changes. God has been present during the whole rollercoaster ride. We are blessed by Shad's continuing good health. This year has been rough for me in the health department. I was diagnosed with seasonal asthma and with MS. MS was the scariest thing for sure, especially the process to get better and functional. Its been a year living with it and I am happy to say I am doing so much better. A year ago you wouldn't have recognized me from how I am today. It also was sad to say goodbye to my sweet friend and kitty Grayson. He has been having health issues for awhile, but its never easy to make the tough decision in letting him go. We welcomed a new kitten into our lives named Fox. He is such a firecracker, but he's really brought healing and laughter back into our hearts. This year I also married the love of my life. What a day. No matter how much you prepare its a day filled with craziness. Blessed to have many family and friends there to celebrate with us. Our awesome pastor and dear friend married us two and day went so well. We got a lot of compliments on his ceremony he did for us. A big help was my coworker who did my makeup and help set my special day out on the right footing. Another friend did my hair and made me look awesome with my veil. Thanks to my maid of honor and my sister Holly for being there to help me and keeping me calm and sane. Last thing I remember is my gal pal Sunny telling me to breathe, she surely saved the day in many aspects. What a great friend she is to rely on, always there to lend a hand or help. Our friend Rob sang for us and what a great job he did. We had so many people to thank, many helped us out that day before and after. Blessed by so many caring people. My husband, which is funny to say, is enjoying being a worker bee. Working for his dad, teaching at college, and helping his friend with his taco buisness. I worked really hard and was able to lose 20 some pounds for my big day and due to the holidays it might have relocated back on me, ha ha. This new year we as a couple are determined to grow as much as we can closer to our heavenly Father. As for me back to living healthy, eating cleaner, and getting active. Yes, to loose some pounds, but mostly to get a long and awesome life. I'm still volunteering for World Vision as much as I can and we are still sponsoring a little boy from Africa who has really blessed us more than he'll ever now. We feel like he is our son. Its amazing to be apart of his life and giving him the life every child deserves. I also got to be apart of a womens retreat for our church. What an amazing time to get away and reconnect with God with some awesome sisters in Christ. I also through Gods help tried out for the worship team. It was scary, but in the end everything worked out and I did my first singing right before I left for vacation. Wow I think thats about it, ha ha. The phrase I could use is God is good.
