Can't believe it's been 6 months since I blogged, 2012 was a great year, a lot of fun times, lots of memories made, learned a lot about myself and my kiddos, wouldn't change our crazy life for anything!
So glad to start a new year, it's a great time for a fresh start, a new chance for changes and improvements. Here's a list of hopes and goals for 2013:
- Get in shape {I'm certainly not getting any younger}
- Plan a big trip with hubby to celebrate 10 years of wedded bliss :)
- Enjoy being home, relax more
- Simplify {my life and home}
- Spend more quiet time with God and dig deeper into His word
- Join a small group
- Take the boys to Disney {time seems to be ticking}
- Eat clean, cook more
- Adopt a pup {the boys still miss Rocky}
I could go on and on, but for now these are at the top of my list, wish me luck :).
Christmas Eve a tragic accident took place, a guy I work with lost his precious 2 year old daughter. Ever since I heard about it my heart has been so heavy for them. I am on my knees even more these days, asking God to comfort this sweet young family, it's heart wrenching. Through the tragedy, their faith is amazing, God is really working in their hearts and as they share their struggles and the peace they are finding could only come from our maker. Through FB they are reaching thousands of folks, Amy (the strong mother) makes daily entries and talks about her strength can only come from God, her daughters death has really impacted the kingdom and is awakening the lost and remind us sinners how we need to get closer to Him. What a precious legacy that her short life has left, it warms my heart and give me so much hope that God will wrap his arms around us if we just call his name.

That's all for now, I hope take my own advice and learn to slow down, soak in all of life's goodness, enjoy the simple things, like sunsets and flowers blooming, enjoy my kids laughter, enjoy my spouses quirks, enjoy the simple beauties of this earth, for we never know what tomorrow holds. When we think we've had the worst day ever, it's probably someone on the other side of the country's idea of great day. Most days are better than we deserve. Guess I'm getting sappy with age, but it's true.
