Reminiscing - 2011 Highlights

After much resistance, I decided that 2012 is going to be the year I finally start a blog.  It's going to be a big year for a couple reasons:

Dan graduates from LECOM and becomes a doctor

We move to Hawaii (more on that later) 

However, before looking ahead, I want to reflect upon some of the many blessings of 2011.  In retrospect, it's amazing to see how God has continually provided for us, and it's humbling to be reminded of His greater purpose for our lives.
