-My South Korean Trip: wonderful time spent with family, especially Carlie and the newest Tessa! This was a unique opportunity and I am very blessed to have been able to go there for 12 days.
-Dave graduating medical school, becoming a wonderful doctor that takes time to teach, show empathy and laugh a little, surviving Intern year while interviewing, getting a civilian deferment, and still having time for family
-Finding something I think I will really enjoy and having the opportunity to go back to school (Respiratory Therapy)
-Our health, along with the health and love of our family and friends
-Travel: Hawaii, western CO, St Louis, Uganda (Dave), Arizona (Dave), South Korea (Gwen)... We are blessed to be able to do the things we love and visit the people we love.
-Family. This year I feel closest to our families and grateful to be close to most of them. I am thankful for my growing number of nieces and can't wait to spend more time with them.
-Asher- I feel like our little kitty always knows when we need a snuggle or a laugh. She is the sweetest thing and we are blessed to have her in our lives.
-Learning to live each day as it comes. It is hard to not count down the hours until your next shift, or count the hours away. We have tried to live in the moment as much as possible. We are trying to appreciate each other, time together, and time apart.
-A warm apartment, with plenty to eat and working vehicles.
-A loving Savior that actively pursues a relationship with us and is watching over us. We can trust that everything that happens in our lives is in His hands and in His plans, and even though we might not always recognize it at the time, He is guiding our lives on a daily basis.
That sums up 2011 in a nutshell.
Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!
With Love,
Dave and Gwen
