Since we have just crossed the border into 2016 – and I am still writing 2015 at the end of every date…I thought we would do a Flashback Friday…into the past year, and allmost some of what has happened with our little family.
We started off the year by buying our first home together – in Westbrook, ME!
Pier went back to school at USM for a 2nd Bachelor’s.It was cold in Maine…Really…Really…Really…COLD.My sweet Grandma came to visit in Maine and met her Great-Grand-Furs…Of course they loved her – and she loved them!Despite the freezing cold weather and feet upon feet of snow…Maine was/is gorgeous…We began fixing up our Maine home…Built in 1901, beginning with this little Harry Potter Closet – under the stairs…We began transforming it into……a media cabinet……and slowly but surely……it came together to form this……Here’s the other side of the wall where we placed the plug-ins for our entertainment system……And here is the TV and the first speaker in place……And the finished product. Sweet and very hand Craig installed surround sound in the ceiling, as well, and with my ‘midnight blue’ walls and ceiling, they were completely hidden. (Confession – We miss this little house.)I also did ALOT of painting and wallpaper removal…This spot was my favorite to work in…I almost broke my neck on multiple occasions.Of course it was also a wonderful spot, as well… It’s where Lucy came to sit and tell me she loved me. ❤We spent Valentine’s Day at Home Depot…More work on “Our Old House”We visited Minnesota in the early part of 2015.And flew back through Boston – Logan…the last flight in before the blizzard hit.Craig and I shared about 2 weeks at home – sick as could be. But between the coughing, we really enjoyed the quality time together….#pilotswifeslifeI began running…thanks to a great area to explore and some asthma running/breathing techniques.Craig was really impressed with the green beer I ‘made’ him for St. Patrick’s Day!We journeyed to Georgia for Ralph’s 60th Birthday Extravaganza and had an absolute BLAST! Wish we had more pictures, but I LOVE this one of me and my grandma!We celebrated Easter…The COLDEST Easter I have ever known – Hence my fur coat!Easter (What was UNDER the heavy coats!)We spent a lot of time with our Youth Group.YM – An amazing group of teens seeking after Christ.What a great experience! We have missed them!We celebrated Craig’s 33rd with a visit to the beach – Old Orchard in Maine……a trip to our favorite restaurant in Maine – Mulligan’s!And the absolute COLDEST baseball game on record – Literally our teeth were chattering! Go Seadogs!We came back to Georgia and have enjoyed some great times with family – and getting to know my brother’s sweet girlfriend even better! ❤I celebrated my dear friend Lauren’s precious Baby E with a shower and enjoyed time with my fave girls!Craig was promoted to Captain – and we couldn’t have been more excited. It was SO well deserved for such an incredible man & pilot.I was hired by an awesome company with a lot of FUN people!!We celebrated out anniversary in Hawaii!And thoroughly enjoyed……Every……Single……Minute.We cheered on my Georgia Bulldogs!It was Craig’s first SEC Football Experience – and I think he really enjoyed himself!We went to MN again – And thoroughly enjoyed some much needed snuggles with our precious niece, Eden.We also ventured to the top of the Foshay Tower……it was a great view with amazing company. ❤We were blessed to celebrate the baptism of our Goddaughter, Charleigh Mae.Miss Charleigh is quite the little angel!At work, we had a costume contest of sorts for Halloween. I may have won. 😉We enjoyed a lot of time at one of our favorite Georgia spots, Kennesaw Mountain.I can’t BELIEVE it, but we celebrated my baby brother’s 30th birthday…Oh my goodness…We made Thanksgiving Dinner for the first time ever – on Jonah Day.11/29 Turkey! 😉We celebrated Christmas with a trip to see The Nutcracker in Atlanta……and also with my precious family. Obviously, we need to take more pictures when we are with my parents!! 😉
What a wonderful year we’ve had!! Farewell 2015! Welcome 2016!! Here’s to our following the Lord wherever He is leading us and standing strong in our faith, no matter what!
Have a beautiful weekend! We’ll see you on Monday!
