As I am getting ready to take down my wall calendar in the kitchen and put up a new one (yes, I still use a wall calendar), I thought I would look back on the year and try to write something special that happened each month of the year... so, here goes...
January - We had lunch with Chip K (from Thebandwithnoname). I know this won't mean a lot to some of you... but it is a band from the UK that my kids LOVE!! Somehow Jon hooked up with Chip and they wanted to get together to talk about music in missions, possibilities and all that kind of stuff. Unfortunately the band is no longer together, but Ty and Devon loved meeting Chip!
February - Ty competed in his first Middle School Science Olympiad. This is a county wide competition that the kids train and study hard for.
March - I was able to travel back to California for my Grandma's 90th birthday party. I also got bumped up to first class for the first time! Thanks God!
April - Our family took a week's vacation on the gulf coast of Florida. We had our own Easter service sitting on a dock in the bay! Jon and I also celebrated 17 years of marriage!
May - School is out for the summer! (this is always a blessing at our house!)
June - My brother Rob and his family along with my parents came out to visit us for a week. We had fun showing them around and hanging out! Also, Ty turned 12!
July - We got to add 3 more countries to our been to list! Spain, Morocco and Italy! Great prayer trip that we got to take as a family! Also, Jon turned 38!
August - Devon turned 10 and started his first football season! He is a natural!
September - I turned 38! I also started a new job at Compass Dance Academy... such a blessing in my life! Jon and I (along with the boys) decide to pursue an international adoption!
October - I learn how I truly can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
November - A visit from Jon's parents! We are surrounded with friends and family for Thanksgiving... such a blessing!
December - A quiet Christmas.
We are so thankful for all that God has done for us, and hopefully through us this past year. This is just a small portion of the blessings that we have seen, there is no way to list them all! It is always good to stop and count your blessings... as the old song says "name them one by one! Count your many blessing see what God has done!" God is so good, I can't wait to see what He has in store for us next year! Happy New Year to all of you!
