2013 Has Come to an End

2013 has been good to us. Let's take a look back at the last year. 


January- we helped KK and Pops move into their new house. I was sad to see them say goodbye to the old house, but like my dad always says, you should never get too attached to anything. 


February- we went to our first petting zoo. We enjoyed seeing all the animals and 
dodging where we walked. 


March- it was a big month. We had our very first (long overdue) hair cut. We started losing our curls with this first cut, but we needed to get rid of the mullet we were starting to acquire. We went to the McWane Center for the first time and Fulton had a blast. 


April- we enjoyed celebrating Easter and even went to our very first egg hunt. Even though he took the eggs back out of the bucket, we still had fun with friends. 


May- this was a big month and we had lots of celebrations. We had Mother's Day, KK's surprise birthday, and our very first trip to the zoo. We were excited because summer was quickly approaching. 


June- summer is here and that meant many trips to the lake. We celebrated Father's day, daddy's birthday, mommy's birthday, and Fulton even stayed a weekend with KK and Pops while mommy and daddy went out of town for their anniversary. 


July- what a fun month. Matt and I celebrated 9 years of marriage, had a family trip to the beach, and many days spent at the pool. 


August- summer was starting to end, but that didn't stop our fun. We even had one last trip to the beach.


September- Fulton celebrated his 2nd birthday with a circus party!! What a fun and special day it was. His friends and family came to wish him a Happy Birthday and eat a hot
dog. Later in the month, we took our first camping trip. Many more of those to come. 


October- was filled with many football games and fun times with friends and family. Aunt Keri even got Fulton his first AL jersey with daddy's number on it. 


November- we took a day off work and made a long weekend to Gatlinburg with KK and Pops. Fulton was on top of the world with a visit to Dollywood, playing at a kiddie park, and sneaking in a little sweet treat every now and then. We also had a week trip to the beach for Thanksgiving.


December- it is the freshest on our minds and was filled with bundled up days and trying to stay warm. We visited the nursing home, went to the Zoolight Safari, and had lots of time with family. 

What a great year it was!! I pray in 2014 we can be servants to others and show them the love of Christ. Our lives are truly nothing without him and we realize every blessing is from Him and Him alone.
