We have been blessed beyond belief in 2013, and I am looking forward to what 2014 may bring. There are so many uncertainties that will come this year with Josh's job, to when the Coast Guard will let him go/dissolve his job, to when our house will sell, to where we will be living. God has a plan for our family, and I will have to learn to trust and obey much better this coming year!
Happy happy 2014!!
