Since today marks the start of the New Year, I thought I'd take a moment to reflect on this past year.
Looking back it's crazy to think about everything that happened in 2013 but I wouldn't change anything. This year has probably been the hardest of my life but it has been so worth it and I feel like I have grown so much.
I married the love of my life on January 4th and everyday I am reminded of how lucky I am. Matt is the greatest husband and an even better dad. He is so good to me and does so much to take care of Lincoln and I. He is so hardworking and so talented.
I survived pregnancy and labor. I survived the hardest physical challenge I have ever faced. I watched my body transform and perform a miracle.
I went to school and worked so hard in my design classes. I have learned so much and grown so much in my talents. I am so grateful that my major directly helps me to develop this talent that I have been blessed with.
I became a mother. I have realized that I can love more and worry more than I could have ever imagined. I have reached the point of exhaustion and gotten past it. I have been strengthened so much in this journey by my Heavenly Father and I couldn't have done anything without Him and my Husband.
I have realized that there is so much that I can't control but I have also realized that there is so much I can control.
I have seen Heavenly Father's hand in my life more than ever before. I am amazed at how much I have been blessed with this past year and all of the many miracles that have taken place in my life.
I look forward to 2014 and being able to grow as a wife and a mother. I look forward to a year with Matthew and Lincoln and all of the adventures that life brings.
