2012 Year In Review

     2012 will be one for the books in just a few short hours. It has definitely been a year for me! Here are some of the highlights:

• Car trouble, lots of car trouble. I pretty much have a new car under the hood, lol.
• My first and hopefully last kidney stone. Who knew something so tiny could be so painful?
• Spring trip to Nashville with the girls
• Started this blog! 
• Brought my total weight loss to 67 pounds! Never thought that would be possible.
• My brother got married!
• My friend, Christy, got married too!
• Summer trip to New Orleans
• Attended my first ASHA Convention and heard Maya Angelou and Gabby Giffords speak.
• Fall trip to Atlanta
• Loss of my last living grandparent, Pawpaw Red
• My dad's sickness/hospitalization two times. Thankfully he is recovering.
• Lots of time with family and friends during Christmas!

     Along with all the things I listed, this year is filled with countless memories of laughter and tears, thrills and disappointments, joys and heartaches. Many things I will never forget have happened this year. My faith has grown and God has changed me in so many ways. I am thankful for all that He has done this year. I look forward to what He will do in 2013! Happy New Year!!!

The Lord has done great things for us. And we are filled with joy. Psalm 126:3

We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose. Romans 8:28
