Surprise Giveaway
Again, to start the year off, we will have a surprise giveaway!! It’s a surprise because I’m not even sure what we’re giving away just yet. We would just love to bless one of our wonderful blog readers! So….if you want to win something, just leave a comment below letting us know your favorite memories from 2013 and share some of your goals for 2014!
Happy New Year!
Hmmm… who doesn’t want to win a surprise?
Fave 2013 memories: Any opportunity that I get to pray/worship with some dear friends is a favorite. Also, the moments of not being committed to anything!
Goal for 2014: Be a better mommy & recognize God’s goodness everywhere.
thenewbec, I’m still wondering what the surprise is… :p Pray/worship is always great!! So no truck goals for you this year? :p hehe
We moved about 1000 miles this year. Not my”favorite” but definitely most memorable and treasured memory of the year. For 2014, in line with some random blogger who said “just pick a single word, forget the resolutions” …. I am going with #Grace. Making the choice to give, act with, share, be…. #Grace.
Kimberly, moving 1000 miles is definitely memorable. Miss having K in the same class with Melody. Yes, I am picking a word too…I think I have finally decided, but will blog soon about it. #grace is an awesome one! I feel like there was a lot of that in my year this past year.
I love the idea of sharing the bottom 10 posts. It’s a great reminder that it’s not always about what brings in the best numbers.
Fav 2013 memory – seeing my oldest off for his first day of kindergarten. 2014 goal – becoming a more disciplined me throughout the year.
Kacey, I think I put more emphasis on other blogs, and don’t remember to share half the stuff I blog, so sometimes, it’s just because no one knows I even posted…and I’m no consistent either…lots to work on. You and I are definitely on the same wavelength this year!! Definitely need work in the being disciplined department.
My favorite 2013 memory was surprising my mom for Mother’s Day. We live 7 hours apart, so she did not expect me to show up at her house at 2:00 am.
I don’t have a lot of goals for 2014. I am trying to listen to Christian music more than other types, since it seems to be more uplifting.
Erin, what an awesome memory!! 🙂 I’m sure she appreciated that visit. I don’t think we always need a lot of goals, sometimes simple is the best. 🙂 Listening to Christian music is so great. Any favorite artists?
Natalie Grant and Nichols Horseman are two of my fave, along with Bebo Norman.
We enjoyed spending the day with Melody and Emily here in San Jose! We love those adorable girls!
Our goal this year is to continue to grow more together as a couple.
Bonnie, The girls loved hanging out with you guys!! We will have to do a sleepover or something soon. Awesome goal!! Anything you are doing in particular? Special date nights or reading through a book together? We need another double date!!
