<p>The amount of ways that you impact me in one year is hard to put into words. You are a constant advocate for our Heavenly Father in each of our lives. I am so grateful for the way that you listen to Him and speak into each of our lives. From helping my fund my first album to allowing me to come back into the family home for a little while you have been with me through the crazy adventure that is life all of the time.

<p>What an adventure 2018 has been. Throughout this year, you have shown consistency in the abundant ways you have shown love and support to Rob and I. Never with judgement but, with honest compassion reflecting and reminding the love our Heavenly Father has for us. I am proud to be called your daughter in law and I'm so excited for you to be the Grandpappy to our children.</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; There are so many ways that you have impacted me, but perhaps the greatest way that you have impacted my life is through support and prayer. This year has been a big one for me. There has been lots of change and so many things that I never saw coming. As you know, I got married to Michelle and we chose to pursue a family this year. Yesterday, the 24th, we found out that we are pregnant! In all of this you have been nothing but supportive spiritually, emotionally, and economically.
