Hi Friends!  I have decided to start my picture a day endeavor again in 2013!  Looking back on the photos I did previously, I realized it's such an awesome way to capture life.  If nothing else, I am capturing the details of my day to day and it's fun for me to be able to look back and remember small details that I probably wouldn't remember otherwise.  And of course, I am forcing myself to grow daily as an artist.  So much has changed since I started this project originally.  We have another member of our family, I have been diagnosed with Chron's disease and had major surgery.  These were the main happenings of 2012.  Then there are the smaller things (less notable events, but probably still big things) such as the growth I see in my marriage, the growth I see in myself as I am a mother in training.  I feel change in my heart and I know God has used all of the rough and tough of this year to bring me closer to Himself and closer to the woman he designed me to be.  I have been so humbled by all the love and support that has surrounded me this year - you guys have been Christ to me through your love and in turn shown me how to love others.  That is possibly the best gift of 2012.  I'm so thankful for my Savior, my husband, my baby girl, my friends and family and this year especially I'm thankful for my health.  Blessings abound. 

Writing is not my strong suit, so I'll keep it short here.  No photo today, but look for one every day in 2013.  I'm looking forward to where the year takes us.
