In 2014...

We celebrated 10 years of marriage.

We made an offer on and went under contract on our future home.

Justin left his job at ListenUp to seek out a new opportunity...

We did our first homeowner projects, like installing this new window which started off our kitchen makeover.

Justin & I turned 30! We've been together for about 1/2 of our lives now. 

Our oldest, Eisley, turned 6! We celebrated at the Downtown Aquarium

Justin went back to ListenUp and we all celebrated!

We decided to upgrade from our '04 Volvo with 180k miles on it to a newer, peppier version that will {God willing} take us on road trips in 2015. That car was good to us, 90k miles and two babies home from the hospital. What lies ahead with new Volvo? Here's to the next 80k. 


We completed our kitchen makeover with new countertops, a new sink, a new window, new tile, and lots of fresh paint.

We got our first-ever flocked tree, and the kids' first-ever real tree.

We celebrated the holidays well, especially one night when we had my parent's friends and our pastor's family over. Good times in the new home!

The year came to a wonderful close, as it often does for Christians, as we celebrated the birth of our Savior. One day He will return and we celebrate that promise as well.

  1. You don't realize how busy a year has been until you sit down and write about all the highs and lows. I loved it when you guys got your house and we all got to follow along with the process. But my favorite parts were getting to watch the kids grow. You are a lucky gal, Heather. Beautiful family, beautiful home, happy life. 2015 has a lot to live up to :-)

    Happy New Year, Friend!

  2. Love your year-end recap! What an exciting year! I missed Justin going back to the old job though--did you blog about that? Glad you're settling in to home ownership (and your gorgeous kitchen), chicks, three kids, and stability. Happy New Year!

    1. I did blog about it, but didn't "advertise" it much since it felt like ALL I'D BEEN DOING for weeks and weeks was blogging about Justin's job. Lol. Anyway, he's back at his old job and we're SO HAPPY about it.

      Happy New Year to you also, Gretchen! Thanks for the sweet comment :-)

      Cheers,
      Heather
