letter

i didn't get around to sending out christmas cards yet again. so i'm going to indulge in the awkward end of year recap right here on the little blog-o.

...

we bought a house. a house wasn't on my list of things to buy. especially here. but it has been good for us. for our marriage. for our life. to have a little slice of earth to call our own. 

we celebrated our first wedding anniversary. i will admit. the first year had its moments. and they weren't all pretty. but we are rocking year two.

i started graduate school. enter debt. exit free time. G has suffered the most because i ignore him a lot through the week to work on homework. i need to work on a more balanced lifestyle next year.

G started his own hunting club. i don't really know about the significance of all that. but it is significant and worthy of blog documentation.

we're having a baby! just kidding. we celebrated with friends and family to welcome many new little babies into our lives this year including Sweet P who you'll see soon right here on the blog. we also celebrated several new marriages including about one third of G's 800 cousins. 

we said goodbye to my grandmother in august. she is whole and restored and who she was made to be now with her Savior. but she's not an angel. i am not into calling the deceased God's new angel in heaven. weird.

we said goodbye to my brother-in-law's mom. unexpectedly and heartbreakingly. and we wish she could be here for Christmas.

we joined the band at our church. and it is has been a lot of hard work. but it's also been a huge blessing in our lives. and we're so grateful to be a part of what God's doing at our church.

...

it's been a full year. sometimes it's felt too full. but i am so lucky to have the life that i have. and there is so much more i could say but i'll stop here and just say thank you.

thank you to friends for making me laugh and keeping me grounded.

thank you to family for loving no matter what.

thank you.
