a wrap up of 2016

2016
 What a year you have been. 
You have brought many changes to us. 
I'm not hating you 2016, 
you have been nice in so many ways. 
BUT......
You were really weird in the political world.
Really weird!
You also brought some strange weather....
the heat.....and the drought.
BUT...
As much as I am looking forward to what 2017 will bring,
I am also thankful for so many things from 2016. 
God was good to us.....even in the hard things.




Here is a little of what 2016 brought to my little family.
  
We spent New Years Eve 2015 driving from Houston.

Dave had clear scans to start off 2016.

We had an offer on our house in January...it fell through.

We had an another offer in March...it fell through.

Dave's sweet sister Brenda died in April. She was such a rock for the family.  She is missed in so many ways.

Abby made all state band.

The kids finished their first year at Donoho.

Abby turned 16.

Dave and I celebrated 18 years!

Erin turned 15.

The kids started their second year at Donoho.

After 4 years, our house sold.  (thanks Amber)

We bought a new house that we love so much.

I started teaching high school the week we moved.

Samuel turned 14.

Samuel started playing basketball.

We got a new puppy...Jovie.


So here's to 2017

more time with God
 more prayer
more reading
more exercise
more thankfulness

........that list could go on, and hopefully I will add to it.

Here's to a Happy and Healthy New Year!
