First of all I can't believe that 2011 is gone. Where is time going? Why is it that the older I get the faster time goes? It has been a rough year but with plenty of happy and amazing times in between. In our home we struggled with being new parents, financial issues, growing apart, priorities being out of whack, and these are only a few things! It is easy to dwell on the bad. Even though we had some of the roughest times our marriage, we also hit the best part of our marriage. I firmly believe that God had us in His hand this entire year. We had to see how we shouldn't live our lives in order to bettere understand how we should live.
This year Elizabeth hit all the major milestones - crawling, walking, talking (which she does a lot of), eating regular foods, some sign language, waving bye, blowing kisses, and I could go on and on! What a joy she is! She has her moments...oh boy does she have her moments...but her hugging you or blowing kisses to you makes you forget very quickly!
As I look forward to 2012,I cannot help but think about past blogs and posts I have seen. My prayer for this new year is that I will not rush through it. I hope that I will enjoy every moment of it. I am also going to do a bit of organizing along the way (Pinterest has given me a lot of good ideas) - hopefully I will post pictures!!
More posts to come in the new year (starting with a recap of Christmas hopefully first!)
