As I embark on what is to be the 26th year of my life, I sit back and realize just how much my life has changed during these last 365 days… so many ups and downs and personal setbacks and triumphs, but I know God has a way of explaining those never-ending questions I ask and He is always with me–helping me choose the right path for me. I’ve been able to experience some incredible trips that I’ll never forget and I know I have matured tremendously because of some difficult decisions I’ve been forced to make. So thank you to those important people who continue to shape and impact my world… without my friends, my family, and Jeff, I don’t know what my life would look like, but I am thankful for each and every one of you and I’m thankful God continues to bless me through this journey we call life. So here’s a look back from what my past year has looked like…
