A Look Back at 2014.

It is BIZARRE to me that we're about to ring in a brand new year! Where in the heck does time go? I mean it wasn't that long ago when we rang in 2014. This past year has truly been the best year ever! We got the biggest blessing of our lives this past April when we welcomed our little man into the world. Mac has been the best thing that's happened to us, and watching him grow and develop over the past 8+ months has brought us nothing but joy! We celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary, and also celebrated the milestone of being together for a decade! We celebrated birthdays, engagements, graduations, and also marriages of friends. 2014 has brought about Mac's firsts of the holidays, along with many other milestones for him! This past year has been full of many happy and joyful times. We are very blessed to get to live this life we've been given!

While we've had lots of good times throughout the year, this past year has been trying too. We have taken on the biggest responsibility we'll ever be given in my opinion which is the responsibility of being a parent. While parenthood is often fun and rewarding, it's also hard at times and we're still trying to figure it all out. We also experienced a few bumps in our marriage (adjusting to having another person in the house), but no matter what may be going on we both know we love each other and that we'll never give up on us. We're a team and we'll work threw the rough times together. I also have personally struggled with trying to find a balance between work, family, and fun. I received a promotion after returning from maternity leave and now have more responsibilities at the office. I sometimes have late nights, and it's often difficult to find the right balance between all that's going on.

Let's just be honest here, life isn't always easy. You have to take the bad days along with the good ones, and make the most of the life you're given. That's we try to do in our home. Overall, we get to live a damn good life! We have been blessed beyond measure in 2014, and we'll put this year behind us as the best year yet. We are thankful to the Lord above for this beautiful life he's given us, and we can't wait to see what's in store for us in 2015!

Happy New Year, friends! Cheers!
