2015 - Looking Back On A Wonderful Year

Since my "awakening" {11.2014} a lot of things changed within me and one of them was to let go of expectations and the act of control. That caused me to be a whole lot more open-minded about life. Going with the flow about life. I still like to plan things but my past trials have instructed me to not become upset or overwhelmed when unexpected things happen or are out of my control. It's like a whole new me.

2015 was a year of many blessings and most of those blessings were completely unexpected. Here I've put together some of my favorite happenings but, by no means are they my only favorites. There's plenty more.

Lots of outdoor pictures. Exploring Washington with my family are my favorite kind of memories along with capturing my kids showing love to one another.
So thankful to God for being so gracious and full of mercy. For loving us no matter how many times we fall short.
And lastly, the main thing that changed for the better in my life is my marriage to Jacob. We've gotten tons closer. Our relationship feels brand new ... you know, like that feeling one gets when they're first dating? That's how our relationship/marriage feels. And THAT is what I'm most grateful and thankful for about this year.

Wishing you all a blessed 2016.

... love and joy come to you, and to you your wassail, too,

and God bless you, and send you a Happy New Year, and

God send you a Happy New Year ...
