What a fun New Year's Eve! Ryan and I met up with lots of friends at the Battery. We were so glad to be with Luke and Julie Elrod, Josh and Nabile Winkles, Adam and Marie Bishop, and their son, Connor. We are thankful for these friendships which have all sprung up from First Baptist. We started in an escape room called "Gold Rush." We managed to escape with about 13 minutes remaining! It had all sorts of fun puzzles to solve, and it took all of us to put it together.
From there we walked over to Garden & Gun for dinner. None of us had actually tried it before, but we all enjoyed it. We described it as "fancy Southern" and it was a good fit for the evening.
After dinner we all drove over to the Bishops house to ring in the new year. We had some delicious desserts and lots of laughs as we hung out. We planned on watching the Times Square ball drop but the GA bowl game didn't end until a few seconds after midnight. It was such an exciting game and it sends UGA to the national championship for the second year in a row. This was such a great evening!
I always enjoy looking back over pictures from the year in order to make my "best 9" of the year. This has been an interesting year. I continue to become more and more aware every single day of the many blessings in my life, especially as I see and walk with others through incredibly difficult times. I can't help but thank God for every gift, big and small. Most of all, I'm thankful for the grace and gift of eternal life that God has given me. I look forward to seeing how my life can glorify God in 2023!
