2016 Recap + 2017 Goals

The new year always has me feeling some sort of way and I wanted to write down some of those thoughts. I wanted to be able to look back on the year and remember some of the accomplishments and good times we had. But also, I want to start this year feeling organized and excited for what this year has to offer.

2016 Highlights

- We celebrated our first anniversary! 

- I finished nursing school, passed my Boards and started my first RN job as a Labor and Delivery nurse. A complete dream come true!

- Went to Minnesota on a family trip with Tan's family.

- Celebrated our favorite friends getting engaged in August!

- Our first nephew was born, Hudson Taylor on September 21st.

2017 Goals

- Continue deepening our walk with the Lord on our own and together as a couple.

"None will find contentment, purpose, joy, or peace of mind of any lasting sort apart from him" (Ecclesiastes 2:25b, T.M. Moore). 

So here is to another year of God's grace, learning to rely on Him more and be more mindful of all the many blessings he pours upon us.
