Out with the old, in with the new!

I can't believe 2015 has graced us with it's presence so quickly. Seems like just yesterday 2014 was a blank slate with millions of new possibilities. But, I'm more than happy to see it leave.
2014 was a hard year. 

I knew pain and heartache like never before with the loss of my Granny and Uncle Phillip.
I left a job I was content and comfortable at, for a huge new adventure. It's harder than I ever imagined, and lots of days I hate it. I found out the hard way that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
I cried more that I thought possible.
I lost friends.
I let my blog clutter with cobwebs, because I couldn't find the right words to say about anything. 
I was scared.
I ended the year with a fall that's landed me in bed for a week now. 

But, in the midst of the hurt, there was also joy. 

Our family welcomed a sweet new bundle of joy, Pearson Blue. 
My sweet and sassy niece turned F I V E. 
My precious and hilarious nephew turned T H R E E.
I gained my first business client for social media. 
I made new friends. 
I grew in my relationship with Jesus. 
I witnessed several friends say "I do." 
I became a Premier Jewelry lady.  
I got to see Garth Brooks LIVE. It was a dream come true! 
I joined Jon Acuff, and countless others, on his wild 30 Days of Hustle adventure. 

And, to top it all off, there was also an abundance of laughter. 

I went on a blind date for the first time. Oh the hilarity. 
I house sat for some friends and broke their key off in the lock.
Alabama preached to us.
Pate always said the funniest things.
The Geico Hump Day commercial happened. 
I got to see John Crist live..twice. Seriously, the guy is one of the funniest people I've ever met. 
I got in trouble with the Travelers. 
VA cut my pants leg off in the doctor's office.
And basically any time VA and I were in the same room, laughter ensued. 

Even though 2014 was a hard year, it had plenty of great moments mixed in as well. I'm praying 2015 will be ten thousand times better than 2014, and that I'll be a better and stronger person. 
Bring it on, twenty fifteen. I'm ready for you!
