My 2015

It's that time of year again: New Year's Eve when we all look back at the year as a whole and remember the good, the bad, and the ugly. I don't feel much like going into extreme detail of the things that went on throughout 2015, but I am here to outline the good and the bad.

• January: 3 birthdays, 2 wedding anniversaries, and we lost my grandfather
• February: 3 birthdays, 1 wedding, and completed Amy Pond cosplay for WonderCon 2015
• March: 1 birthday, bought a car, and completed Padme cosplay for WonderCon 2015
• April: WonderCon 2015 and Ryan was born
• May: My first Mother's Day, 1 wedding anniversary, 1 birthday, and a friend moved away
• June: nothing too memorable happened...
• July: San Diego Comic Con/Nerd HQ, I went back to work, and Ryan's first Fourth of July
• August: completed Dean Winchester cosplay for Long Beach Comic Con
• September: my 2nd wedding anniversary, Long Beach Comic Con, 2 other wedding anniversaries, and 2 birthdays
• October: Ryan's first Halloween
• November: Supernatural Convention in Pasadena, Ryan's first Thanksgiving
• December: Ryan's first Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year

Throughout this year, I have seen friends move away and I have grown closer to others. I have gained and lost weight. I have colored my hair five different times. I fought with people and made up with the same. I have been really happy and really, really sad. Looking back at the year, I can safely say that it was a really amazing one, even with the bad. God uses everything that happens in our day to day lives to strengthen us and mold us into who He has called us to be. I am so thankful for living through another year, and I look forward to what 2016 will bring!

Happy New Year!
