As the year began I grew closer to some friends and farther apart from other friends. Thinking back on the things in the past year though, I wouldn't have changed a single thing. Things happen all for a reason whether we understand them now or not.
The church news I guess you would call it was read this past Sunday and I had to stop and think as Ted read them. I came to Jesus, had a baby and was baptized all in the same year. What a year full of thanksgiving if you ask me. Next week will mark the day that I made a new beginning in my life with the Lord and a wonderful beginning at that.
Two months from now my little girl is going to be turning one and boy does that seem crazy to me. I can't believe it's been almost a year since she was born. Amy has been the biggest blessing in my life and has helped me to take control of my life.
Just watching as Amy has grown over the last year and seen her transition from helplessness to a slight independence has been so fun. She went from the little baby who needed to be carried everywhere, have mommy hold her bottle and not helping mommy get her dressed; to the little girl who crawls everywhere, gets into everything, feeds herself for the most part, and helps her mommy get her dressed and sometimes tries to run away when it's that time.
Ironically enough Carrie and I choose the first of the year to move into our new apartment. Today I actually finally finished putting my stuff away. Definitely a shorter period of time putting my stuff away than any other moves I have made.
Have a wonderfully blessed rest of the week :)
