It is so easy to say that the Butters have been blessed ten fold this year and my gratitude for life, the gospel and my family are growing each and every day. I am so excited for the year 2014. I know our lives will change and that becoming parents is not going to be easy but I can honestly say there is no one I would rather be enjoying this journey with than Grant. My life is so full of love and joy and I am eternally grateful for everything that I have.
Happy 2014 everyone. I hope your year is the best yet!
