What a Difference a Year Makes

2008 was quite a year, to say the least. We went through so many changes as a family, each of them making us grow together. Looking back at James' deployment with the Marine Corps, I can now say that I am thankful that God gave us that. Yes, it was hard. Yes, it was trying. But the lessons that I took away from that time are so priceless. I learned that I am a strong wife and Mommy. My faith is ever growing, and my children got to witness that first hand. I am so very thankful for these two precious gifts that we have been blessed with. I never dreamed that I would ever know such a true, perfect love! I pulled up my picture folders from one year ago...just to see where we were...and where we are now! Look at these sweet faces!

May your New Year be blessed!
