This year was packed. It is hard to tell everything that happened in the detail it deserves. While currently this year I am exhausted and trying to keep up with the ever pressing demands of life and work. Last year I celebrated a lot of goals reached and health issues overcome. Now my husband and I are moving boldly into the 2020 year!
Above all, God has guided us and loved us without fault. He has kept us and protected us. Without our loving God we would never be able to have made it through this year!

We've done a lot of work around the house thus far and we are really happy with how things have turned out.
We have gotten to spend some of our favorite holidays in the house thus far! Including Halloween (with an awesome party!) Thanksgiving, and Christmas which was amazing!

There are lots of other blessings that we've been given this year along with several other adventures that have occupied my time.
In 2019 I've:
Grown in my relationship with God!
Become an official homemaker!
Become a better and more loving wife to my husband whom I adore!
Started playing DND and learned not only the art of role playing and creating a character, but also the fun of painting miniatures!
I have worked at my job for a full year and have introduced several new organizational changes as well as new events for the community to enjoy!
I have started performing again.
I have made lots of new and wonderful friends and weeded out toxic ones!
I have been married to my best friend for a whole year!
I have stood beside my beloved friends when they got married, bought houses, had babies, and in all other ways ROCKED at this life thing!
I've learned a lot about home improvement, as well as furniture repair and refurbishing
There are so many other things, too many to list! I am so excited for my 2020 year!
