This year was a busy one for us. We moved three times: once while I was pregnant, once while I was in the hospital, waiting to be told I'd have to be induced a month and a bit early due to preeclampsia, and lastly in November, to our home in Modesto. Josh has had four jobs while I managed to do one this summer. We attended 2 weddings, one for my Dad, Norm, and his new bride Carrie, and one for my brother-in-law and his lovely bride Michelle. Josh and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary, and have driven countless hours for road trips to visit family and friends in Montana, Minnesota and B.C.
We have experienced months of not knowing how we were going to pay bills, and have known the faithfulness of God as He took care of our needs each time. We have felt the love and support of all our families and have grown in that knowledge. Josh and I, as a couple have experienced the highs and lows of marriage and parenthood, and as individuals.
Looking back I see a lot of grace and many blessings. Grace from God, grace from our families and friends and grace from each other. There have been many blessings this year, but my biggest blessing other than my husband, (who I love more today than when I married him) is our beautiful daughter. She is my joy. We both love and adore her to pieces. I love watching her learn new things everyday, and seeing the world through her eyes. She brings both Josh and I to reality and has made us grow up, even when we haven't wanted to. And although I like to blame her for my "mama curves" I would do this year all over again, and I wouldn't change a thing.
Except maybe I wouldn't have eaten so much chocolate.
