Cheers to 2014

We certainly were a little sad to say goodbye to 2013. It was just so VERY good to us! Yes Chad spent most of it in Afghanistan but he came home safely and I still cannot even think about the day he came home without tearing up. That day really was my favorite day of the entire year. It was nine months of worrying, wanting and needing all released in one sweet, wonderful hug. Completely indescribable and emotional! This past year also brought us a family trip to Disney World, a most wonderful and special trip just for two to Europe and of course, our new home. 2013 definitely blessed our family in many ways. We celebrated New Years Eve with a house full of friends and kids. We even got to stand on our back porch and watch some pretty amazing fireworks from the comfort of our own home. I thought it was so fitting to say goodbye to an old year and hello to a new one in our new home full of new friends. Oklahoma really is becoming our home and we are so happy where we are in our lives.

And what better way to start off a year than with my beloved Seminoles being the NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!! I am still on cloud nine over that game and I don't ever want to come down. What a sweet victory it was! GO NOLES!!!!!

So we are looking forward to what this year will bring us. Gavin will turn three. (Seriously, he just learned how to walk, right??) We won't discuss how old I will be. Chad starts his new job very soon. And hopefully I will pay more attention to this blog. I plan on reading more books, finishing more Pinterest projects and spending a little more time on the floor with my son. So here's to 2014! May it be full of wine glasses with friends, hugs from family and trips to places you've never been. I love all of you!!

How blessed am I to see this face every day of every year??
