Goodbye, '13 Hello, '14

Well, it's now 2014 and a lot of jazzy stuff has happened in 2013, so I will recap. :D

• On New Year's Day I took Daddy to go see Les Miserables (the movie)
• Saw my darling Sharyssa as an evil eel
• Went skiing for the first time
• Got a new van (named Sparkles)
• Had a civil war ball
• Heard Bill Jack speak twice (APACHE and Worldview Academy)
• Celebrated the Ninin's 3rd birthday as she pleased :D
• Went to fake prom with dear friends
• Created the Fuzzy Llama Lovers
• Learned how to work Mom's pretty camera (aka Baby Camera)
• Had my favorite piano recital piece of all time, Bring Him Home from Les Mis
• Went to a dear friend's wedding
• Returned to Worldview Academy (and had a blast!!!!!!!)
• Made incredible new friends
• Planned a Sweet 16 surprise for my "sister" Rebekah
• Was thrown a Sweet 16 surprise for me 
• Went to the Indiana Dunes for the first time
• Began my second year of watching by Bella girl (aka Ninin, Nunkey, Turkey Girl, and any combination of these.)
• Started college 
• Visited the new library (many, many, many times!!!!)
• Started theater classes (YIPEE!!!)
• Got a guitar (and started learning it...sort of)
• Babysat for the first time overnight
• Was left home alone with Caleb for a week. (yes, we are both still alive and sane...okay, take back the sane part, we were never that in the first place!)
• Saw my first Broadway show (WICKED nonetheless!!!!!)
• Saw Sharyssa turn into a wicked witch (the wicked witch of the west to be specific.)

There is so much more that happened this past year that I just am not remembering, but I am so thankful for everyone that I met, reunited with, and/or became closer to. I hope this next year is full of God's grace, joy and love and everyone experiences it to the full measure!!!

Happy New Year's!!!!!!!
