2013 - the year of love

This Christmas season is coming to a close and it has been going by SO fast!

As I sit here with my cup of coffee at 12 in the afternoon, because Lord knows you can't have enough coffee (a liquid addiction) I am thinking to myself, God really took me on a ride this year!  He has given me opportunities, hardships, confusion, happiness, love, experience, and alignment for the plan He has created for me.

All in all though, I am truly happy with what He has given to me because it has helped me grow closer to Him, closer to myself, and closer to Adam. Where I go, He is there!

Here is to 2013, and a wonderful 2014.  My year in photos!

 This has been a interesting year! And here is a cute little video that I loaded on Instagram earlier today!  Follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and this Blog to keep up with the 2014 year!



When I look back, I know that there are always things that we all look back  on and wish that we did this way or that way, or differently.  But, I know that the one thing that is true, is that EVERYTHING was meant to happen in the way it happened, with whom/what/where it happened, and that is because He is greater than anything and He has a plan already made out for you and me.  

Bring it on 2014, I am ready!
