Hello 2014! Nice to meet you!
Last night, we joined a few couples for games, good food, and lots of laughter. We went all out and turned in around 11pm. As the clock struck midnight, I was laying in bed, reading my daily Bible verses and reflecting over the amazing year I had just experienced. I listened to the kids blowing their kazoos outside in the cold, the fireworks echoing in our neighborhood, and just closed my eyes to take in the moment. 2014 was here.
Last year, I made 5 resolutions—and to be honest—I didn't stick with a single one of them (except for maybe kicking butt at the gym... marathon training was one of my favorite parts of 2013!). So this year, instead of psyching myself out with resolutions and setting myself up with goals & wishes & hopes for the future—I'm just going to focus on one thing—growing as a person.
2014 is going to bring some big changes, big trials (Air Force Basic Training, anyone?), and so many chances for me to take steps toward the amazing future that lies ahead of me as a wife, a woman of God, a hard worker, and hey... maybe even a mom. I don't know all that I'll face in this new year, but I'm embracing all of you, 2014. Let's do it.

Happy new year! Can't wait to see what's in store for you this year!
Happy New Year! I have a good feeling about 2014.
Happy New Year! I think that you are going to rock 2014's socks off!
Babies have a habit of sneaking up on you. <---------------------Prime example. We ended up with a "deployment baby"! In reality my husband's tech school was really long and we couldn't afford to visit each other during that time. When he came home we went on a cruise and came back with a bun in the oven.
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year my friend
Whoa! See... that gets me all nervous AND excited at the same time. While we MUST must MUST wait until I'm home from tech school to even consider it, I know the time is going to fly by! :)
And the Happiest New Year back to you, Kelly. Hope it is filled with wonderful things for you!
And Happy New Year to you, Kat!! Can't wait to see what the year has in store for you, either. PS> Did you set a date yet? :)
Aww, you are one of my favorite faces to see! Thank you!
Happy New Year to you! I am not making any resolutions this year either, just want to focus on strengthening my relationship with Christ and excelling in my house-maker skills:)
Best of luck to you this year and everything you plan to do, my darling!

Yuli, are you a full-time homemaker right now? That sounds excellent :)
Thanks Krysten! Wishing the same for you, my friend. Hope it's just wonderful!
thanks so much, Gayle. I sure hope you're right. And just like you... I also hope to finish the Bible. I'm probably 12% of the way through, so I've got some catching up to do!
What really helped me, since I have the attention span of a gnat sometimes, is listening to an audio recording while I'm reading, so I can "read along" with the person. Biblegateway has an app for iPhone that I use just for that. Youversion is my fave Bible app, but I like the voice options on Biblegateway better, so when I am reading through books like Numbers or Exodus that are harder to hold my attention to, I listen and read along. :)
Haha, glad I'm not the only one that has a harder time with certain books. I'm currently going through Psalms (my favorite!), Genesis (so good), Chronicles (...), and Luke. I really enjoy each of them, though Chronicles is a bit slower for me. I am using YouVersion. I love it! Thanks for the Biblegateway suggestions!
Totally get it! LOL And you have a very short school so it will really go by fast!
That was precisely one of the reasons I picked personnel :) ha!
I love how you are up for anything in the new year. Whatever comes your way. Adore your bright cheerful spirit for 2014. Hope it blesses you!
Thank you so much. And yep, whatever comes my way... bring it on! :)
I’m really really impressed with this blog. It’s a treasure! I can’t wait to visit again and soak up the value you provide here. Fantastic job. Thanks for the effort.
