2015 – a year of emotional rides for our family. We lost my dad, a brother-in-law, and one of our dogs. These losses have been difficult, but we hold sweet memories close to our hearts and try to focus on the positives that 2015 brought us. My youngest daughter graduated from Christopher Newport University in May as an arts major, my sister had her 4th baby girl in May adding another girl to our families of all girls, and my husband and I celebrated 30 years of marriage in November when we returned to our honeymoon resort of Wintergreen for a long but much needed getaway. I am trying to acquire a positive attitude for 2016 but know too well from previous experiences that nothing is promised but the sweet moment you currently live in. Cherish life and capture memories because you never know when memories will be all you have. Thanks to all my wonderful clients and friends for your support this past year and to new clients and friends I will meet in 2016!
