I think God has a great sense of humor. It was just the beginning of September around my birthday when I was thinking of goals I wanted to accomplish in the next 3 years before the big 30. I mentioned that we needed to decided if we wanted anymore children because I wouldn't have any after age 30. Little did we know that just 2 weeks later we'd find out we were having another little baby! That's life! You just roll with it and appreciate all the blessings and lessons along the way. We are so excited about 2014 and cannot wait until May to meet Truette Hope!
Happy New Year!
