Happy New Year!

I cannot believe how fast 2005 went! I'm in awe of all the blessings the Lord has given us this past year. As I reflect back over 2005 I see accomplishments, struggles, heartache, excitement, relaxation, rejuevination, new friendships built, old friendhsips regained and so much more. In 2005 we: paid off over $15,000 in debt, we've taken many trips home to visit family, we've watched both my sister and sister-in-law through thier pregnancies, we've continually strived to make our marriage better, we've grown closer to friends and have seen friends move away, some even to another country, we've been barn swinging, and seen probably 5 dozen movies, we've had just as many, if not more, wonderful dates, we've watched each other grow in our faith and be challenged as well, we've become part of a ministry that reaches out to lost people in apartment communities across the states, we've watched loved ones pass away and have watched new life begin. We are truly blessed! Now, I'm completely convinced that 2006 is going to beat out 2005, and we are on our way to making that happen. We've set some pretty high goals for this year, complete paying off debt by September 2006, Get back in shape and tone up, continue to grow our ministry in our apartment community and draw people into the church, press on in the other areas we are serving in at Watermark, Aaron - drama (who would have thunk it!) and me, sheparding the sweet 5th grade girls! We've also said we would get to our two year anniversary and re-evaluate about having kids, so I'm praying that blessing is not too far off in our future, and we have also made our marriage a high priority. We know that the Lord has some great things in store for us and we are so excited! We hope your Christmas and all of 2005 was amazing and we will be praying for you throughout the new year! We would love to hear from you! Thanks for visiting our site and God Bless!!
