Highlights of 2012

I love starting a new year: new goals, a new year to look forward to, a fresh start.  I especially, though, love looking back at all that happened in the previous year. It reminds me of the goodness of God and all that He has done in our lives in one short year.  This past year was especially amazing-so many things happened that we completely did not expect, yet have brought so much blessing and joy to our lives!

Jesse was hired part-time at our church: Grace Church San Diego (this pic was from Luke's dedication in September 2011)

We celebrated Luke's 1st birthday!

I finished up my year as a working mom & said good-bye to my classroom and career (for awhile.. :)
Thanks to the Lord and my hard-working husband, I became a stay-at-home mom!

Jesse graduated from Bethel Seminary: a 6-year long journey!
Jesse began full-time at Grace Church and I was hired 10-hours a week as the Birth-PreK children's director
Johnson family vacation to the Oregon Coast
Vacation in Yosemite: first family camping trip 

Found out we were expecting another BOY!

Celebrated our last Christmas as a family of 3 :)
