As I sat down to write this 'year in review' I thought I'd run through each month of this year and pick out the high lights, but as I sat down to think about it I realized that this year was full of some really significant defining moments and lessons God taught us. So instead I thought I'd run through a couple signifiant moments as they stream through my mind today.

In March my Grandma had quadruple by pass surgery. It was a trying time for my family but our family rallied around each other and my Aunt & Mom made their way to Arizona to help me take care of both my Grandparents.

Ava turned 5 and Zane turned 3. Ava started kindergarten this year. In April we put our house on the market and it went under contract within 5 days. We spent most of May packing and looking for a new house. Also in May we left our current church of 4 + years to pursue the dream God placed on our heart of planting a new church here in Phoenix.

Weight loss. Zane got a big boy room and learned to use the potty. Turning one year older and celebrating 8 years of marriage. Kicking off Summer with a family vacation to Disneyland. Ava danced her heart out in July at her recital.

And even though I lost my precious Gramps just a few days ago, this year was beautiful. I have complete peace knowing he's with Jesus. He'll be missed, but I know he's made whole in Jesus' name.

I'm looking forward to 2016 with all it's new adventures and offerings. I'm looking forward to pulling back a bit and being more purposeful in areas of my life in 2016. Cheers to a brand new year, I hope your 2015 ends beautifully.
