2013 threw a lot of travel and transition our way:

Travel

• I went to Boston, Chicago, and Orlando for work.
• We had a weekend away in Montana (almost didn’t count this since it’s just two hours away)
• Tim and I made two trips to California together – once to see family and once to attend The Gathering (and see family and celebrate our first anniversary).
• I made a solo trip to California to visit friends.
• We spent a weekend in Kansas City to attend my cousin’s wedding.
• I visited my parents in New York twice – once for a retreat, and once with Tim for vacation.

Transition

• Tim’s first full year of ministry at CBC.
• Our first full year living in Coeur d’Alene.
• We became homeowners (not always all it’s cracked up to be…) in May.
• Found out I was pregnant in May.

The biggest/craziest/weirdest thing for me about 2013 was the fact that I was pregnant for the majority of the year – definitely not what I was expecting 2013 to hold!
