2014 
This has been a learning year. We listed our house again. We left the church I grew up in. I am teaching through the most difficult year I have ever had. We have spent two interesting weeks with three kids sick at the same time (that will teach you some interesting things). I have been learning patience. I have been learning how to persevere when I just want to throw my hands up and quit. I have learned some people work certain things for the money and nothing more. I have learned that God's timing is always right even when I can't see it in the moment. I am learning that 4 is so much better than 3 and that the terrible two's might have been skipped with the twins, but Titus hit them about 5 months early. I learned that no matter how difficult things may seem, there is a reason. It makes you stronger. It makes you appreciate. It makes you cling to the cross while you make it through. I am so thankful for the friends and family I have. They make the years what they are. I am so thankful that I get to have another year.
