2013 Year In Review



What a year, 2013

Some family and friends made there trip to heaven, some far too soon.

But it brought alot of us closer, and we appreciate each other a little more.

I've met some great new friends, and that made those bad days seem not so bad.

I got blessed with my first niece, beautiful Miss Brityn.

My nephew makes my heart bigger everyday I get to spend with him.

My sons... I couldn't be more proud of the young men they are becoming.

My husband couldn't make me happier! I love him more with each passing day.

This blog has really made me proud of what I love to do!

And I look forward to the new year, and all the changes that it's gonna bring!



Thank You to you all that have come to this "lil ol blogeroo" and read it!!
