2014 in Review

Keira and Me - I think I lost more hair again this year.  :(

As I look back on 2014 it was a really nice year. Nothing super awesome happened, although we did get a lot accomplished, but nothing tragic occurred either. Keira and Amber switched to our charter school in Oro Valley in kindergarten and second grade respectively, and except for the hour of homework each night, they love it! Elizabeth continued working three part-time jobs, while also starting a nonprofit organization and going overseas to teach English for a week. On my end, I was able to finish the lion's share of our new china hutch during the Christmas break (pictures to follow soon!), I finished writing the first six World's Divide books (links and pictures of 4-6 coming soon too!) and was able to spend some quality time this Thanksgiving with my 97 year old grandpa, my parents and my brother's family in Tucson. For Christmas we also stayed in Tucson and spent some time with my in-laws and Elizabeth's sister Sarah and her family. Oh, and let's not forget the Huskers hiring a new football coach and Ohio State making it to the first NCAA football championship! I guess I forgot to mention that this summer I began learning the guitar with Amber. With around half an hour of practicing a day, I've gotten to the point where I'm comfortable playing in front of people, although taking piano and trombone lessons as a kid really helped to speed up the learning process. In all, 2014 was just a really nice year and I hope that it carries into 2015. I hope all of you had a great year as well, and here's to looking to 2015!
