Our Announcement

John and I were so excited to share our news. We decided that since we didn't send out Christmas cards to everyone, that we could share our announcement as a New Years card. We sent the cards to our family and our close friends. So now everyone knows!  We still haven't told the whole world yet. So for now, you are still our little secret… at least to some :)

Happy New Years! 

We are looking forward to what this new year has to bring us!! 

Our New Years Resolutions this year:

John's Resolution: To be more involved in Social Media. Trying to stay in touch more with his family and friends. As we know, John barely ever goes on FaceBook. If it wasn't for me tagging him in anything, he probably would only have 10 posts! :) (no exaggeration) 

Jackie's Resolution: To limit my amount on Social Media. Having more time away from my phone. Like when we go out to dinner, hanging out with friends and family, traveling, etc. 

Family Resolution: To find a church that we would like to go to.
