Well, before we can say hello to 2005, it’s time to say good bye to 2004.

It’s amazing how much changes in a year. In 2003 Frank and I were engaged and married and I thought that was a pretty wild ride. This past year, the ride continued – Frank received the good news that he got a job in Milwaukee and I found a job and we moved our entire lives up to Wisconsin and made new friends and started a new life in a new place. And it has been outstanding!

I love my job, I love our new church and our new home. It has been challenging, but still rewarding. God has done amazing things in our lives and I can’t wait to see what he has in store for us. I know that things are going to be challenging – that growing is never easy – but I am working to have faith in God and that He has a plan for us.

So as 2004 is coming to a close, I am extremely grateful for the many ways that God has blessed us, our family and our friends.

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful new year!
