As I sit here and think about all this year held for us; I'm not ready for it to end yet. This has been a great year with many blessings.
A few of our big highlights were:
** We have been doing owner financing on our last house for 2 years and this was our last year. He paid it off in August; which was exciting.
** We paid our house off; which was even more exciting!!
** We bought a new 4 wheeler, so even more fun for sure to be able to ride together and not all of us on the same 4 wheeler.......LOL Just picture all of us on there together; not the most comfy.
** Zachary turned 5 yrs old and Sadie turned 3 yrs old in March. Busy month!
** Les turned 43 and I turned 35.......whew, how come we have to get older too?!?!
** Zachary has been learning to shoot basketballs and really has been enjoying that too.
** Zachary started Kindergarten (homeschooled) and is doing really well. He loves to tell you everything he knows.
** Sadie has slowly started to learn how to write and really enjoys doing "school" with bubby (her big brother)
** The kids enjoyed a vacation with my mom and my brother and his family to visit Uncle Wawee in MS and LA. Les and I didn't know what to do w/o them, but we enjoyed 4th of July alone. That was a first for us since having kids. It was fun and I tried a frozen banana with nuts on it - RECOMMEND!
** Les changed jobs after being with the same company for 17 years, so it was a most-welcomed change.
** We traveled to AK for a 7 day cruise and had a great time!!! My family, my mom and her cousin, Nancy, went together. We spent a few days in Seattle, WA and really enjoyed the vacation. Overall, we were gone for about 10 - 11 days. The kids did WONDERFUL and I would definitely do it again with them.
One of my resolutions from this last year was to say "No" to too much. This year was great because we weren't overloaded with activities and just had a relaxing year. We have been camping, traveling, Les has been hunting, and so much more. Overall, a very good year and look forward to 2015 and see what lies ahead for us.
I'm hoping Jesus returns and brings us all home to our eternal home. Do you know where you're going? If not, PLEASE ask me how you can know that you will be secure in Heaven, with Jesus!!
Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, Jesus, and Happy New Year!!!!
See you next year!!!!
