January
I wrote about my one word for the year…risk. Wow, what a year of stepping out to risk and seeing God meet me. Incredible.
February
My little girl started playing soccer. She really loves it. It’s too bad that it’s not a girl’s sport in S. Africa. She’s asked if she could play but there are literally NO girl’s soccer teams.
March
I started making angry birds for my boy’s epic 10 year old birthday party. Wow, they were such a hit!
April
We celebrated that 10 year old boy and found out that those angry birds (along with some piggies) were, indeed, a hit.
May
Joshua traveled with his class to Austin. Little did we realize that was only the beginning of his 2012 adventures.
June
Before we left for our road trip to Connecticut, Jeremy played his original music at the local coffee shop. It set the stage for playing lots in Europe!
July
We flew to S. Africa and two weeks I left for Uganda. I fell in love with E. Africa but was also overwhelmed with the beautiful faces I saw among the mud huts and thatched roofs.
August
August, the month where everything changed and we felt led to stay in S. Africa and step back into the local leadership. It was also the month I celebrated my 35th birthday!
September
I started homeschooling my two little sweeties. It’s been quite the ride the past couple of months, but I think we’re all surviving. We also celebrated our father/daughter birthdays!
October
We started our European adventure. The British Museum, Buckingham Palace, Arundel Castle, the Birmingham canals, Dublin, those were a few of our stops along the way.
November
After Hurricane Sandy grounded us in London, we finally made it out just in time to see New England’s first snow of the season! We also enjoyed the beautiful Fall Kentucky weather.
December
We continued our travels in Texas from the beautiful East Texas woods to Christmas with family. I think we might have breathed a little here and there, too.
Here’s to 2013 and all it has to hold! Happy New Year!
