I can hardly believe that another year is about to begin. This past year went really quickly in my eyes, but it seems like they always do. For the last five years or so, I have chosen a word (or once two words!) to represent the upcoming year. Before I reveal my word for 2019, let's recap 2018. 2018 -- Change Change was my word for 2018, and I think it was pretty fitting. There were a lot of changes that took place, especially with Travis.

It was fun to see the different markings along that growth chart for both my brother and I as we got taller and taller throughout the years. Growing is a good thing. I think we all can agree that children should get taller as they age and teenagers should mature with life. Adults grow as they go through different circumstances.
