It is the end of the year and I always right a Year in Review. That probably won’t be posted until we edge toward New Year’s Eve, but going back even further than a year, I was thinking about how much has happened to my life, Nick’s life, our life since we smashed cake into each other’s faces and our guests started taking bets who would win in a wrestling match. A lot has changed, especially this year.

Nick’s doctoral program, moving to Boston, moving to Cleveland, buying our first home, my trip to the Philippines, Nick’s new job, the garbage disposal…all these things have given us tremendous opportunities to grow and learn about ourselves and each other.

We thank God everyday for each of our friends and family members who have supported us this year. And while my Year in Review is still a few weeks away, we just wanted to take this time and say Thank You to all of you who have prayed for us, helped us move in anyway, and assist us in realizing our dreams.

So, thanks. (in a really, really big, Statue of Liberty kind of way)

(By the way, in case you don’t remember, or didn’t see our wedding cake fight, just know that I TOTALLY won. Look at his face if you need evidence.)
