You Don't Know About Me... But I'm Feeling 23

... I definitely did NOT listen to that Taylor Swift song for the last time yesterday... Heh... Heh.

I know this is where I'm supposed to share my wisdom and my hopes and dreams and everything that will be different for this next year, but I really only have one thought - and I'll keep it short.

Like my pastor said a few weeks ago, it's common before a big trip or change to pray and ask for safety. If we ask for adventure we have to deal with all the problems that come along for the ride. But being safe is boring so this year I don't want to do that.

My prayer for this year is to have adventure. I'm not sure what that looks like but am excited and terrified to figure it out.

It's crazy to look back on where we were last year, starting out and getting established as a married couple in a new city and state, to now and realizing what an incredible challenge it has been. But slowly we have made relationships and connections with the people and places here. We have grown in spite of the problems that have arisen.

God is good.
