this crazy year, 2012...

I turned 27

Rielynn turned 2 and grew freakishly long, beautiful hair

Elleia turned 6, donated 8 inches of hair to locks of love and fell in love with Justin Bieber (ahem....)

I was in a dear friends wedding

I did my first craft fair

I waited patiently for my husband and have learned what real love is

 I started making and selling handmade fabric flower bouquets
and my business exploded in growth, exceeding my wildest dreams for it.
(thank you Lord!)

I did the Color Run with Elle and some dear friends

My hair and I became friends and I lost 20 pounds

Matilda Jane Clothing gifted the girls and I with brand new wardrobes and school supplies
(www.matildajaneclothing.com)

I went to Indianapolis for the True Woman 12 conference
 and recorded a testimony for Revive our Hearts
(and got food from a food truck for the first time ever!)

I learned more about myself and more about my relationships with
friends, God and my family, than ever before

I have grown and changed as a woman and as a mother

I feel more centered, and more calm even though I am busier on a day to day basis than ever before

(and oh yeah, we moved twice,
I finished two semesters in school and I started a new job...
but whose counting?)

 

I am so optimistic about 2013 and looking forward to it more than

I have looked forward to anything, probably ever (more specifically, March 19th 2013!!!)

 

It's been a crazy, hard, amazing year.

I'll look back on 2012 with good memories.
