2014 has been a year full of stress and anxiety... but it has also been a year full of growth and understanding. During the worst time of our lives we've had the incredible opportunity to surround ourselves with some of the best people we could have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Complete strangers have supported us through all of the ups and downs... and our families, well they all are just simply amazing!!! 

Sometime bad things happen to good people. I am a firm believer that none of these trials happen as a punishment- they happen to teach us. To open our eyes to what is really happening around us! All too often we all forget how much love surrounds us. We get busy with the hustle and bustle of life and forget to just STOP and enjoy the little moments in life. This situation has forced us to face our insecurities and bad habits. It's forced us to evaluate our lives and prioritize what's important. This beautiful little girl is our life! She's is incredible fighter showing us strength we didn't think anyone, let alone a toddler could have. She's taught us how to be patient, loving, understanding, and most importantly grateful for every second we have together! 

Thank you for all of the love and support you've given to our family this year. We are so blessed to have such amazing family and friends surrounding us in our time of need. We will forever be grateful for the opportunities we've had to get to know you! You've enriched our lives more than you will ever know! 

Happy Holidays!!! 

Love.
