Because everyone else is doing it...

...I'm also going to recap my year.  I kind of wish I'd written this post before reading everyone else's recap so I could pretend like it was my good idea.  But, that's not actually the case.

January-

• We spent much of the first two weeks buried in snow!
• We started P90X and Spencer lost 40 lbs!

February-

• Spencer and I attended WinterJam, a 4th and 5th grade winter camp as sponsors and got very little sleep!
• We got a roommate!  Preston, Spencer's college roommate, got a job at StoneBridge and moved in with us until his wife could move to Omaha.

March-

• Spring Break!  Just kidding... we didn't have a spring break.... adults don't get spring break.  I don't know why.
• Got my hair cut for the last time this year... my hair lady, Markie, moved to Chicago!  And also because my husband asked me to grow it out.

April-

• Celebrated Spencer's 23rd birthday!
• Celebrated Caelan's 12th birthday!
• Hosted an Easter egg hunt at StoneBridge.  We had about 1200 in attendance.
• Got a new car.

May-

• Marah graduated college... we missed it.
• Flew to Denver to meet up with the fam and then flew to London for a 10 day UK vaca!
• Mar and Bo celebrated their 2nd anniversary
• Preston moved out.

June-

• Had the first 3 summer camps at StoneBridge.  They were largely successful, fun, and exhausting all at the same time.  I can't wait for camp this year!
• Mom and Dad celebrated their 28th anniversary!

July-

• Held our sports camp @ StoneBridge
• Held and attended the annual Fireworks Bonanza at StoneBridge... fun day!
• Felt like I needed another vacation
• My boss stepped down from her position at the church.

August-

• My family came to visit!
• I turned 24... yikes!
• Spencer and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary
• Held the first Back-to-School BBQ at StoneBridge served a lot more people than we thought we would!

September-

• Got back into the "school year swing of things".
• Spencer started his final college class... biology

October-

• Aunt Dona and Uncle Bob visited for awhile (I'm probably forgetting other times people visited.)
• Ran home real quickly for a weekend... just for a break!
• Was offered the position of Children's Ministries Pastor and accepted
• Held the biggest Trunk-or-Treat event to date at the church.  It was COLD!

November-

• Happy Thanksgiving!  This year I hosted!- my family came to visit

December-

• Merry Christmas!  We went home briefly for some time at Christmas
• Spencer's parents came and took us to the Colors of Christmas concert.
• Spencer's parents blessed us with a new washer!
• Our friends Brett and Nicole had their first baby!

It's been a fantastic year!  It's been exhausting, exciting, encouraging, trying, and wonderful!
