2015 is coming to an end. We celebrated at Liz and Brandon's for the 4th year in a row. We always get home before the "crazies" are out, but we have a blast nonetheless. Tonight we played games, watched football, ate chilli, and laughed A LOT. I love family time.
2015 has been one heck of a year. It started out very, very rough. In the first week of 2015, my BABY suffered from a concussion, and had to undergo a head xray and CT scan. Then, I thought I was going to lose my baby brother, the person who was my best friend from his birth until I was married, but thankfully I was able to witness a miracle first hand, and he pulled through stronger than ever. I took my first plane ride and taxi ride during that whole process, and I survived being away from my kids for almost 4 days. As the year went on, I got fed up with my job and tried as hard as I could to grin and bear it as it pushed me deeper and deeper into stress and anxiety. I was able to resign and accept a new position, a fresh start, which came with it's own stresses and anxieties (although not NEARLY as many ;)). I have hurt more and prayed more than ever before, but I have grown stronger in my faith and closer to the ones I love because of it. I have struggled with anxiety and depression for my entire life, and for the first time in a long time, I feel like I can survive anything. 2015 tried to break me, but it only made me stronger. That being said, I am truly hoping for a "sweet '16"!
2015 wasn't all bad, I gained a brother in law and a step-nephew. And sweet baby Levi graced this world with his presence. I am thrilled about how our family had grown and how much love has been given over this year. I am not the same person I was this time last year, and after a year like this one, I know without a doubt I will never be the same again, but I think that might be for the best. I look forward to seeing what 2016 has in store for us. I pray the worst is behind us, but I have faith that even if it isn't, everything will be alright, one day at a time... Happy New Year, Y'all!
