It would be easy to say that 2013 sucked. It would be easy to say 2013 was great. Those two phrases would both be a lie.
2013 for our family was a HUGE learning experience. I think each and every single family member learned something valuable.
As "raw" as this is, here is a little timeline on our year.
January: Shon had pneumonia
I had bronchitis
February: Shon and I are now married for 10 years
David and Jordan were sealed to us just one year ago
March: Jordan is 5
David is 8
David is Baptized and joins Cub Scouts
April: Ashton turned 12 a received his Aaronic Priesthood
May: School's Out
Shon and I seperate
June: Steve (Shon's Dad) suddenly passes away
August: Shon and I are back together and move to South Orem,
Jordan started Kindergarten
Ashton in in Junior High
September: Football starts for David and Ashton and we say goodbye to our Saturday mornings
Shon and I return to the Manti Temple for the first time since we were first sealed.
October: Football is over!
My mom came for a visit!
I made a fun trip to the emergency room
Shon turns an undisclosed age
November: I turn an undisclosed age
Jordan starts Taekwondo
Shon plays in his first Guns N' Hoses Charity game and wins!
December: Christmas time is here! It was a great one!
Like I said we all learned a lot this year. We have gained new relationships and severed ties with others. Shon and I learned that marriage is a sensitive relationship. It has to be protected an worked on each day. We learned that our children are everything and they deserve patient and loving parents. We have learned that life can and will change in an instant so you have to make sure you are living it to it's fullest. We have learned to surround ourselves with positive and loving people. People who love us for who we are and support us as a family.
We are excited to see 2013 go and can't wait to see what 2014 has in store for us. We have some great things in the works.
Happy New Year to our friends and family. May you and yours find peace in the New Year.
