Taking Time

So often does New Year’s Eve come and go without taking some real time to reflect. At least I know this to be true for me.. Because you see, although I’m a chronic over-analyzer at heart, I so easily overwhelm myself with the minutia of life that I forget to step back. To breathe. And to see the bigger picture God has painted right before my eyes if only I’d be still. But not this year.. 2010 was way too special for that. And so, I remember…

Graduating. And leaving the second home that was and forever will be Syracuse University. Class of 2010, represent!

Getting married. To the man who makes me laugh harder than anyone can. Even myself. And I laugh at myself a LOT. ;)

Moving to Houston. A city that has stolen my heart with its miles upon miles of strip malls, 70-degree winters, and genuinely kind people.

Going full-time. And growing my business more than we ever thought possible in such a short stretch. We are blessed to know God as Our provider.

And meeting Sully. Our precious baby boy who already gives me reason to fear I’ll be dressing him up in cute little argyle sweaters on a daily basis.

May your New Year be full of puppy wrinkles, lots and lots of cuddling, and taking time to remember…
