Tanzania - What an adventure! Jeff and I went to Tanzania for two weeks in January. I still don't have the words to explain the experience with the magnitude it deserves. Maybe that is part of why we are going back in January, 2014.
Girls Bible Study - I started meeting with some girlfriends from work for a monthly lunch. We started by going through the book of James and now we are going through the entire New Testament. God has touched me in a profound way through this group.
Work - This year was a roller coaster for me at Caterpillar. Some enjoyable days, some challenging. More than ever, I am reminded that I am at Caterpillar for a reason and the work season of 2013 has left me more confident in who God has designed me to be and as a better leader.
Morning Prayers - Everyday, Jeff and I kneel to pray. Some days I'm too busy. Some days I'm too lazy to kneel. Jeff doesn't stand for my excuses and makes me do it anyway. Obviously, that is a good thing.
Family - I love my family more everyday . . . immediate and extended. The time with them at the holidays was especially nice!
Cards - I have never put much value into buying cards. I always think they are overpriced and lack meaning. Jeff's family, however, definately puts some thought, effort and value into the practice of giving cards for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. The cards I received from the kids this year on Mother's Day were thoughtful, loving and mature. There are many akward feelings and selfish moments for us step-moms on holidays, especially Mother's Day. While I don't remember the words on the cards specifically, I do remember the love and joy I felt when reading them on Mother's Day and my Birthday this year.
