We have honestly not been up to much lately, which is just fine with me! From October until after Christmas, we were gone for 13 weekends in a row...I am so thankful to just stay home! Last night Allen and I just had a movie night at home by ourselves. I just love it when we can just relax and hang out together! We watch Julie and Julia, which was pretty good, but not overly exciting, which made it hard for me to stay awake! This morning we are headed to the mall to do a Mall Walk to benefit diabetes I think...it's with some guys that Allen works with. That should be fun and we get some exercise out of the deal. Then, since we are at the mall anyway, we are gonna look for new tennis shoes for the both of us. The bottom of ours no longer has grip and the arch support in mine is gone! I guess that's what happens when you stand on cement all day! I think after that Allen is going to go and try to get his tree stand out and take it home while I clean the house. That should be overly exciting...blah...
Tomorrow we head to church and then who knows what for the afternoon. The pro bowl is on, but I really don't enjoy that game so much...but next week...GO SAINTS!!!
I started doing the Love Dare, which is different than I thought it was, the when I read it, it really makes me thankful for the love that Allen and I have for each other and for the Lord. A lot of couples have lost both of those loves and I can't imagine trying to get them both back! Yikes!
I hope everyone is staying warm on these chilly days! Makes me thankful for my house, even if my husband keeps the temp at nearly freezing...lol
Thanks all for now folks!

The New Year
Happy New Year! Allen & I brought in the New Year at brother Paul's house. Since he only lives about a block away, we didn't have too far to go! There were a ton of people there and we had so much fun hanging out with everyone!
As I sat back and thought about this last year, it surprised me how fast it went. This is already our second New Year as a married couple! It still feels so new sometimes! We have so many things to praise God for in the past year.
1) My mom had lump in her breast that Sioux Center didn't want to look at, they said it was too big. They sent the mammogram to Sioux Falls and when she went to see the doctor, they couldn't find it! It was just gone!
2) Grandpa Byl had successful lung cancer surgery, and although he is healing slower than he would like, the important thing to remember is that the cancer is gone and he is, in fact, healing!
3) Our cousin's little guy Kade was put into the hospital and the didn't know what was going on with him. After some scary options were given, he turned the corner and is doing just great!
4) We had no funerals to attend for immediate family members. Allen lost two great uncles, but we are thankful we have not had to attend more than that.
5) Many, many, many friends who got married this year! I get so excited for weddings and we had a TON to go to this year!
6) Healthy babies and pregnancies that are going well!
7) Family time-we have spent a lot of time with both of our families, even though we live an hour away from both. Sometimes I complain that we are never home, but I always enjoy family time!
God has blessed us in many many more ways throughout this past year, each and everyday! We can't wait to see what He has in store for us in the coming year. We just pray that we follow His guidance in our lives and that we continue to see His blessings each day!
