We have also spent many moments realizing how blessed we are and how thankful we are to our Heavenly Father for those blessings, moments spent thanking Him for the priesthood and the sacrifices that our Savior made for us. Moments thanking Him for each other and our families.
We are looking forward to a new year and new adventures. We like many have made new year resolutions and hope that they stick for the year to come.
