Goodbye 2013 . . . Hello 2014

2013 was a great year for our family. 

We definitely have a lot to be thankful for . . . here are the top 10 highlights!

#10~ Dave was transferred to Town & Country Ford and he is still enjoying being back at Sonic
#9 ~ I started back in the classroom teaching part time at CCS.  We have all adjusted to a new normal
#8 ~ Savannah continues to love school, especially reading, and is rockin' the AR points
#7 ~ Preston LOVED his first real experience with soccer and was pretty good too. :)
#6 ~ Dave and I were able to vacation in Las Vegas together (my first time there and first time flying solo)
#5 ~ We officially became debt free in October!
#4 ~ We are very blessed to have been so healthy this past year
#3 ~ Preston made huge progress with his speech thanks to a great therapist
#2 ~ We were able to meet all of Dave's extended family from NJ for the first time on a vacation in the VA mountains.  What a wonderful weekend that was!!
#1 ~ Our family is so thankful to have such a great network of friends at our church. With no immediate family in town it is truly a blessing to have friends to call when you need something!

Looking ahead we are excited to see what God has planned for our family in 2014.  There truly is never a dull moment around here so I'll finish this post with a funny moment that already happened this year . . . a conversation that was overheard between my two kiddos while I was on the treadmill:

S: Welcome back to school Preston. We have a lot to catch up on, do you want to start with math?
P: Okay
S: We are going to learn about odd and even. Do you know anything about odd and even?
P: Yes
S: Well what do you know?
P: I don't know ABOUT them, but I know what they did
S: Huh??
P: They ate from the tree they weren't supposed to
S: What?
P: Adam and Eve, you know, they ate from that tree.

Hilarious!  Thank you Lord for the blessings you have given us.  We are truly grateful!
