2015 Favorites

 2015 was a big year.

...but every year is a big year, because it's another gift and another opportunity to learn and grow.

2015 felt particularly magnanimous largely due to the magnanimous happenings of the year. Lots fell into place in exciting and beautiful moments, and there were lots of moments of cultivation, lessons learned, and drawing nearer to God.  Here were some of my favorite 2015 happenings and memories:

25. Stanton Healthcare's week of prayer and worship on their new property
24. Making friends with amazing people and small group 
23. Knocking out two semesters of nursing school pre-reqs
22. Going to about half a dozen weddings -- with EIGHT more on the calendar for 2016 :-o
21. Discovering all sorts of teas in this world
20. Chic-fil-a study dates with Boone (Because doing homework in silence CAN be fun)   
19. Making new friends in the 2s Sunday School class 
18. Binge watching Parks and Rec over the summer (So maybe taking four months to get through it isn't necessarily binge watching, but hey.)
17. Willowcreek Summit conference with Mrs. Rhinehart
