2016

Dear 2016,
It is difficult to think I am meeting you so quickly. I mean, it was just yesterday that I greeted 2015 with open arms and now I'm saying goodbye. 2015 brought with it a lot of changes. We made it to the end of our fertility struggles as we completed a long process of IVF, we saw our sweet baby for the first time, we found out we were welcoming a little boy into our family, we spent months in pain-sicker than we could have ever imagined, we wrapped up the sorrow with our hearts full of joy and our arms full of the sweetest son, we spent time as a family-learning how to adjust, and we celebrated with loved ones. It is hard to think of you being able to fill 2015's shoes, but I have hope in you. I'll do my best to hold up my side of this relationship by putting my best foot forward. I pray to be a better wife, to be the best mom to my baby boy, and to be a witness of the great love of Christ. I pray I can be available, be present, and be still to receive all the blessings you are sure to bring. I hope you are just as memorable as my friend, 2015. So, here's to you and what is to come!
