2012... A Year in Review

Wow 2012 has definitely been a year filled with; tears, pain, questioning God's plan for our life, holding close to God and growing in our faith, being tested, patients being tried, clinging to JC, spending time with family while healing physically and emotionally, carrying, holding, and letting go of our baby girl. I feel as though this year as been the hardest one to date, 2010 (the year my mom passed away) was another tough one but it was also the year JC and I got married. So 2012 was filled with more hardship and heartbreak then 2010, I think our "good" years are apparently the odd numbered years haha... I do hope that we will have more good years in our future then bad ones. I think saying goodbye to 2012 will feel like turning a new chapter in our lives, obviously the most exciting thing about 2012 was finding out that we are expecting another baby! 

Which by the way I have been feeling baby move almost everyday since Christmas morning and I think this little one is going to be an active one!! Excited that we only have about 2 weeks left until we will hopefully find out if we are expecting a blue or pink bundle of joy in May! 

Anyway I set out to pick out 12 pics from 2012 to show our year in pictures, but there are a few more then 12... hope you don't mind!!! So, please enjoy and have yourself a safe and fun NYE!! 

XOXO Bee
