2013...a great year indeed
Our little family of four had several fun accomplishments in 2013.
First the kiddos:
* Celebrated birthday #3 and #5 with friends, family, and Batman!
* First flag football game, first tap/ballet dance recital.
* First day of Kindergarten and trip on a big bus to/from school (last year I walked Tyler to/from pre-K...what a beautiful time we shared).
For Myself:
* First & second full marathon
* Countless half marathons, ten milers, duathlon, 5ks and fun mud races with friends!
* First Triathlon with the hubby
* Moved back onto Andrews AFB and rented our Waldorf home to reduce commute time & gain family time
* Promoted to Team Lead at work
* Completed 3 full time masters semesters
Areas of my life I hope to grow/accomplish in 2014:
* Find a church closer to home (although we love New Life, surely we can find a church family closer to home).
* Let go of things that will never be (ugh….sooo hard but a continued work in progress).
* Forgive hurtful situations. This one is another tough one…..really tough!
* Accept the things I can do with pride vs. "I could've done better"
* Serve my country overseas (again...EEEeekk)….and come home to hug my family & friends. I hope my deployment grows me to be a better mom, wife, friend, and leader. I really hope my husband and family realize this deployment is our families service to something bigger than us. I also hope the time flies by, super warp speed.
* Teach my kids a more meaningful prayer. We've let "I pray for all the children don't eat my food!" go too long for Avery. Tyler amazing me everyday in his spiritual heart. If that boy doesn't continue his life serving the Lord's work, I'll be shocked. His heart bleeds Gods love and he just seems drawn to the teachings in every way.
