100 Things for 2016
I wasn't going to write this blog this year because I had something different in mind, but a friend told me this evening that she went looking for the blog this morning so here goes...
1) My Savior. It's been a crazy 6 months in my world, with many changes, but He has proven Himself so very faithful. He continues to prepare His way before me and I pray I can be just as faithful to Him and His calling on my life.
2) My dad. He's my rock and supports me in every career move, silly antic, and random conundrum I find myself in.
3) My Ryan Joe. Gosh, I love him so very much and it's been so fun to watch him grow.
