We had a really monumental year in 2017.

A few of the highlights:

Austin traveled to Alabama and competed in the NJROTC Nationals, with his team taking 8th place.

Blake wrestled at the State Tournament earning 6th.

Austin was invited back to shoot at the Junior Olympics and made the trip to Colorado with his dad.

Blake turned 16 and got his drivers license.

Austin turned 18 and graduated high school.

Blake got his first job and bought his first car.

We traveled to Kauai as a family and had an amazing experience.

We stayed with family at a cabin near Mt. Rainier.

I began building my photography business.

We celebrated our 20th anniversary in Astoria, Oregon: the place where our story began.

Aaron reached 40 and we celebrated with dinner and bowling.

Blake was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome and we walked that road together.

That was our 2017.  I'm thankful for all of it and all the things in between.

Of course 2018 holds so much promise. 

There are big things happening this year. 

I step into it with all gratitude and joy, looking forward to the changes, looking forward to what is planned, looking forward to living and growing and being.
