2020 has been a year to remember. For many, it was super hard, and it was hard for us in our own way. But has also been full of family time as well as lots of work and updating. We were sort of blown away when we sat down to make a list of our year! I knew we'd done a lot, but when it was written out, it hit me anew just how busy we've been (and how much money we spent).
2020
Brennon got to celebrate a true birthday just a few days before the world shut down.

2021 will be a budget year. Randy questioned whether I would be able to keep to a budget. When I look back at 2020 all I can see are checkmarks, which means we won't spend money on those things again. Other than food and extra-curricular activities, we have told ourselves the answer for 2021 is NO! Heaven help me when Randy gets bored and we don't have any money for a project to keep him busy...
There have been ups and downs this year, absolutely. But the time we spent together, around the table and because Randy wasn't traveling, stand out as this being one of the best years in recent memory. I see many blessings and miracles because the world stopped. I will always remember the lessons learned during this time of unknown. I'm grateful for Covid-19.
