New Year's Eve

2014 has finally come to a close. I don't know why at the end of every year I am as surprised as the year before about how quickly another year has passed. This last year was a big one for us and brought lots of changes, good times and special memories. I wanted to highlight a few of the things that come to mind that happened in 2014....

• sold our first home
• trip to London
• Lincoln finished 1st grade and started 2nd grade
• trip to Seattle and Alaska
• my friend Sandy was diagnosed with ALS
• I injured my ankle
• Logan's vocabulary expanded rapidly
• Grandpa Darryl passed away
• my tennis team went to sectionals
• our niece Miranova was born
• trip to Idaho for six weeks over summer
• Logan learned to write his name
• Lincoln started karate and has advanced to high orange belt
• bought our new home (wishing we had moved in this year also but will do so soon!)
• Ricky traveled to Israel
• I picked up the Preferred staffing team at work which has been a lot of extra time and effort
• boys birthday trip to Universal and Disneyland
• Christmas in San Diego

We ate the last meal of 2014 at Pei Wei...my favorite! We threw a few pop-it's in the street and lit a few sparklers until it started to rain. The boys were up until 10:30 and Ricky and I spent the evening enjoying a movie together. Unfortunately we don't have TV in the rental house so we missed watching the ball drop this year. Overall it was a great day and a wonderful way to celebrate together. 

2015 is shaping up to be an exciting and busy year for us. We are looking forward to it. Mostly I feel very blessed for all that we have...health, my boys, family, friends, employment and so much more. Thank you 2014 for a great year and here's to 2015!
