Dear 2015

Dear 2015,

I am glad you are almost done. Only a few more hours and we can part ways. I look back and see a year of high highs and very low lows. My emotions were stretched to the limit, my mind tested, my physical body sore & changing. You were the hardest time I have ever had in my 25 short years.

Don't get me wrong; there were good parts. I was blessed with my 5th year of marriage to my outstanding Mr.


We celebrated the first birth of my niece, Reagan Elizabeth.


We took a family trip to the coast and surprised my mom for her 50th birthday.


I visited Seattle for the first time.


I went to my very first Duck football game.


My niece, Zoey Rose, was born.


 I celebrated holidays, birthdays, etc.


I don't forget these times. I cherish them, and in fact the bad has made me cherish them more. But 2015, you were not nice to me. You were my biggest struggle, my most exhausting challenge, and on that I know I will eventually look back on and understand and see growth, but at this moment, I am looking to 2016 with hope that it will be better than you were. I am looking towards 2016 with hope, positive expectations, 

At the end of they day, 2015, you have taught me one thing: Life is not easy. Ever. But God is always faithful, always at work, and always in control, and that makes life good.

Here is to 2016.

Sincerely,
