Goodbye, 2010

Looking back, 2010 was a really good year. Every year is filled with a few rough patches and this one was no different. I'm certain that the rough patches of 2010 made me a better person. As a family we enjoyed an insane amount of fun time together and made memories that I'll never forget. I love you Nick and Mason!

January: My social life wasn't busy, but I was overly busy at work preparing for the first ever Oklahoma Mission of Mercy.

February: Nick joined me on a work trip to Chicago and we got to take photos with a real Oscar.

March: This month I decided to take a good hard look at myself. I changed some things, which changed some relationships, which ended up being a big game changer for the rest of my year. This was a hard month, but the most important month of the year.

April: We enrolled Mason in Kindergarten and I ran my first 10k...not very gracefully might I add. Mason and my mom also finished their first race!

May: Mason graduated from preschool and we took a funtastic road trip. 

June: Mason landed a role as one of the lead kitten in Disney's Aristocats at a local theatre. And we headed back out on another road trip because Willy and Sanja got married! Nick and I also signed up to run the Donald's Half Marathon at Disney (Jan 2011). My first, his second.

July: We hosted friends over for a fabulous fireworks display on the 4th and I headed back to Chicago for another work trip.

August: We were busy this month. Mase had a blast of a birthday party and later that month we celebrated my birthday. Mason also started Kindergarten and I got a new job!

September: Football.

October: We visited a pumpkin patch, brewed our first batch of homemade beer, took a lovely nature walk in a nearby park and dressed up for Halloween.

November: We had our first vegetarian Thanksgiving and watched OSU lose the Bedlam game.

December: We hosted our third annual gingerALE, made our own glass Christmas ornaments and made lots of cookies for Santa.

2011 is sure to bring just as much joy, and I'm sure just as many rough patches. I plan to complete my first half marathon and full marathon in 2011. I can't wait to post about it this time next year.

May 2011 bring you and your family many laughs, lots of love and most importantly good memories.
