Behind The Butter

Favorite Moments of 2013

Happy New Years Eve!

I was planning on sharing a new recipe with you guys today but figured I’d save it for later in the week since you’re probably not cooking today any way. Or if you are cooking, you’re probably making party food. And hopefully black eyed pea stew or hoppin’ john! I soaked my peas last night and am making a batch of my mom’s famous hoppin’ john this morning. It’s so good.

So instead of sharing a new recipe today, I wanted to do a recap post of the last year! I think it’s safe to say that 2013 was the best year of my life. My mind spins just thinking about it and all that took place. I got married, went to Europe, went to Ethiopia, got pregnant (!!) and we moved into a new house. God has blessed us so much and we anxiously await the birth of our son in May! Whew!

Here’s a list of my very favorite moments captured in blog posts this past year. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting this little blog for yet another year. I can’t wait to share 2014 with you!

    What an exciting year! I found your blog through instagram recently, so it’s fun to “catch up” on what I’ve missed. Your 2013 sounds kind of similar to my 2010/2011… from engagement to marriage to positive pregnancy test, all in just over a year! 🙂

    You two have really had such an incredible 2013! I had a pretty great 2013, too – I lost 200 pounds & moved from Ohio (where I had lived all of my 31 years) to North Carolina. Here’s to hoping our 2014 is just as fantastic! 🙂

    I would just like to thank you for sharing your god given talents and blessings with us this year and through the past years as well. Our message at church this Sunday centered on our mission as Christians to share our good news of our belief and faith in christ Jesus with everyone in the world non stop as the apostle peter did. Also our conncectedness through our faith and our relationship with Jesus. Such a wonderful gift to unwrap this holiday season. You have shown us, your readers your love for Christ and all that you do. Thank you once again for all you do, your inspiration for me,and have a blessed 2014.
