Goodbye 2018

2018 was a GREAT year of changes and opportunities for our family!  We rang in the new year with a shrimp boil for dinner, family games, fireworks and a toast at midnight.  When I reflect back on 2018 there are so many highlights and changes that we could not have seen even a year ago today.  Below is a list of our 2018 highlights and words just are not enough for all the ways God chose to bless us this year.  Thank you God for the NEW.  NEW opportunities, moments of joy, friends, school, house, and more.
