Good bye 2012

2012 Was a year of good and bad. It was a personal testing of Faith year for me. In early February Matt had a cancer scare that turned our world upside down. We both were in a state of shock for a little while but after it wore off we were surprisingly strong. I prayed harder than I have ever prayed for God to give me a miracle. I didn't pray...I begged. I was 6 months pregnant with our son and couldn't believe it was happening. I felt for the first time in my life contentment and then it just happened. Life (GOD) always throws you things when you become comfortable. When I say comfortable I mean stop depending on him. Of course we still believed, loved and needed him. I personally just got comfortable enough to stray into a routine of not "talking" to him like I should have been. He has always been faithful and proven to me many times that he's there and listening. The day we got the news that it wasn't cancer, I had literally had the biggest break down hit the floor begging moment of my life. Ten minutes later the doctor informed me that it was a true miracle and that he was in the 1% that it didn't have cancer. All I could do in that moment was cry and say thank you Lord. I KNOW he gave me my miracle. During that time he was working and doing things in my husbands life too. Every little detail is for a reason and part of his master plan.
This was the verse that kept being shown to me during that time and it still is one that I read often. Now this hangs in someones home and I hope it helps them like it did us.
This little blessing came in May. He is just as sweet as he is adorable! I mean seriously...He is heaven sent! I have my hands full with his older sister MC and God sent me the sweetest little baby ever to keep me from going insane. :) I am in love and enjoying every minute of this little boys life. He is my last baby and thats a whole other post..... The rest of the year was spent with all the kiddos at home...ALOT. As a stay at home mom I find it so easy to just stay home. When you have more than 2 kids it's all most impossible to go anywhere and actually enjoy yourself. I do thing in different catergories. I spend the day out with all the kids doing kid stuff. The zoo, park, and play dates with other craxy moms. :) Love date night with the husband that come few and far between and live for girl time! Overall we had a very blessed year with tons of laughs, tears, stresses, and loving moments. Oh and we are still here and the World didn't end! Silly Mayans!
BRING IT 2013!!!
