2014 you all!!! 2014 was filled with joy, surprises, celebrations and love! I totally forgot I had a blog and decided I wanted to re-cap the best moments of 2014 (mainly for my sake, so I can look back on it one day!). 2014 started with a cold and snowy winter here in Louisville! We celebrated Ev's first birthday, we found out we were pregnant, found out it was a boy, celebrated Carol Anne's wedding, enjoyed an amazing summer, Andrew got a teaching job as an 8th grade math teacher, enjoyed fall, and then welcomed our new little Elijah at the end of the year. What a great way to end the year!
In all seasons of life, though, we need to remember to give thanks to the Lord. We need to remember He is sovereign over all things. He is in control of our lives. He is good, even when we are walking through "bad" times. This year was filled with lots of "good" times and it was so easy to give thanks and praise him, but the years that are filled with "sorrow" I need to cling to Him and remember to praise Him, amidst the pain.
So looking back on 2014, besides the obvious "big" life moments, I found the everyday, day-in-day-out moments were some of my favorite. Days with my husband spent laughing and talking. Days with my girl, spent playing and walking to see the duckies. 2014 was a good one... excited to see what 2015 has in store!
