Happy New Year! I have good feelings about 2016. We took a break from extra-curricular activities once soccer was over. The girls have only been doing piano, and even that has been a half effort lately with the holidays. This month is going to be a bit busier with the kids activities, but I feel like everyone is ready now. I'm looking forward to having a year full of hope. Not just hoping for good things for my family and for good things to come, but more like a hope in eternal promises and blessings. A hope in the Gospel and the teachings of my Savior. Sometimes when I am feeling down, I can feel almost this tangible feeling of the Spirit encouraging me and helping me. Having a chronic illness is tiring, frustrating, and sometimes scary. It can feel very lonely at times. I miss my old life but I also don't because of how much I have grown and changed. I can honestly say that we have been blessed beyond measure. I'm grateful for those moments when I can see that because I don't always. Here is to a Happy New Year!

You have such a great perspective Annie. I admire your willingness to persevere and just keep trying even though it's got to be so, so hard sometimes. Love and miss you already!
Love you Anne! I love seeing pictures of your family-Olivia is looking so much older lately. I hope 2016 is awesome for you guys and maybe we will meet up again this year:)
