Catie's List

1. Expanded our family by welcoming our darling Olivia. I pushed a human out of me and lived to tell the tale. That is pretty cool.
2. Went through a lot of emotional roller coasters with defining our future, but grew closer together as a family because of it, and closer to our Heavenly Father in the process.
3. Loving my husband more than I thought possible. Homeboy is the best.
4. Still rocking the job at iCentris, being a mom, and wife and being happy with the balance.

3. Kept my parents on a pretty strict survive-on-less-than-three-hours-of-sleep-at-a-time-for-five-months schedule
4. Was the happiest baby ever
5. Grew two teeth
6. Became a master army crawler

8. Mastered sleep training in basically one night and sleep 10+ hours regularly
9. Blown out at least 80 times in my short six months
10. Was an excellent flyer on my first airplane ride

Not gonna lie, besides Olivia being born, this year was kind of poopy. How funny that this was both the best and worst year of our life.  I have to admit though, looking back at the poopyness, I know one day we will be grateful for it, but right now, it is still just poopy. We are excited to start a new year with new hopes and dreams. Bring it on 2014, you best be a good one.
