Man what a year 2013 was! I can't believe how much change can happen in just one year. Owen grew leaps and bounds. He went from being a little baby with no teeth and barely crawling to a full blown toddler with 12 teeth and a pretty full vocabulary! I can't wait for this year to work on loving this little boy even more, if that's possible.

Clark and I grew leaps and bounds, too. We went through things I never imagined we would ever have to. Although we aren't completely past it, it has made us so much stronger and I look forward to this year to work even more on us and on forgiveness and on trust.

It has been a year full of memories and trials. I'm more than happy to close the book on 2013 and live fully in 2014. I love starting a new year. It's like a blank slate waiting to be filled with whatever we choose to fill it with and I'm choosing to only fill it with happiness and love :)

and of course I'll try to eat healthy and exercise more, but who am I kidding?
