I will admit...I am a blogger failure. There has just been so much going on since I last blogged that blogging about it was the last thing on my mind! However, I will try to do better about keeping it up to date...but I can't make any promises! But here is a giant catch-up!
We went to a beautiful wedding right before Thanksgiving in Georgetown, SC
We had a great Thanksgiving this year and I absolutely love having girls around now verses when I was growing up and was the only girl in the whole house!
Then December came...which is usually my FAVORITE month out of the entire year, however this year threw me for a slight loop. This December the most important person in my entire world came very close to leaving me forever and it changed my entire life. I could not imagine having to wake up everyday without being able to call my amazing Mom to complain/celebrate/embrace/or just talk with her! However, her little heart may have been very sick...but now it is better than ever thanks to the amazing doctors at Carolina East Medical in New Bern, NC.
I know it sounds like a complete cliche, but she is my world and it was the scariest thing that has ever happened to me. It was very hard being that close to losing her, and I am so thankful to everyone who has been there for me and my family during the past few months! You have no idea how much it means to us and we are so thankful and so blessed!
The following week I went to Rutherfordton (Townsend's hometown) to celebrate an early Christmas and an early birthday celebration for him, (one of the most important men in my life)! Townsend is a Christmas baby so it's hard to celebrate his birthday together since we are usually in two different places with our families. I flew straight from Asheville to New Bern the folloing Monday to celebrate Christmas in Morehead with my family. It was truly one of the most heartfelt Christmases we've ever had, especially since we were able to enjoy it with Mom at HOME with us...it really makes you think twice about the reason for the season! Dad's birthday is the 29th and my brother Christopher's birthday is Jan 1st, so on the 29th Townsend and I were in town and we celebrated everyone's birthdays with a big family celebration!

Here's to hoping 2014 will bring us amazing joys and wonderful health! Thank you so much to everyone who has had an impact in my life, I am very thankful for each and every one of y'all! My New Year's resolution this year was to just be happy and enjoy being surrounded by the beautiful people I have been blessed with in my life. I am so thankful and so blessed! When I go to sleep at night, you can guarantee my prayers are full of thanks for all the amazing blessings I have in my life! Wishing everyone a very beautiful, blessed, and amazing 2014! xoxo
