ngâu nhiên: it's Vietnamese

So many fun moments in the last 2 months.  Here's to a recap in pictures. In absolutely no order.

 

Completely random group of individuals ringing in the new year.  What fun.

Our teeny-tiny Christmas.  We love our itty-bitty family.

And a bigger Glanzer family on Christmas Eve.

We missed the Vogt family Christmas so we had our own Glanzer/Vogt Christmas. 

Girlies on NYE.  Clearly EVERYONE had a fabulous time. :)

Some Christmas decor.

And more Christmas decor.

Christmas Eve happiness.

My most favorite red-head.

All 7 nephs and Grammy.

Joy in a basket.

Minute to Win it!!!

Sweet, sweet friends and an adorable addition.

In other news, despite my fast from all things decadently awesome, I am still alive.  More to come...

I'm still here!!

Believe it or not, this blog still exists.  My lack of posting can mainly be blamed on an abundance of thoughts swirling in this thing called my brain.  Here's what I'm learning (in no particular order):

• How to be a better wife.  In a conversation with my mentor earlier this week, I said, "I'm just such a terrible wife."  Of course I didn't really mean it...naturally, I was looking for affirmation.  But, like the unbelievable mentor that she is, she said, "Don't just say that.  Do something about it."  So true.  The doing is beginning.  It certainly ain't pretty rehashing all my terribleness as a wife, but it is necessary.  
• How to focus more on others than myself.  Lifelong journey, I'm sure.
• How to give up my three favorite food groups (cheese, chips, and sweets) for the next 28 days. Please holler in my general direction if you hear nothing from me in 5 days.  I might be in the fetal position in front of the cheese drawer of my refrigerator (don't tell me you don't have a cheese drawer...).
• How to give the Gospel away. It's not just for me.  

So life is full.  And God is good.
