Welcome 2011

Welcome 2011!!!
Never before have I been so excited to see a year change - but 2010 was tough, and I believe that maybe just the changing of the year can help to change the tide.

That being said - I know it is important to value all experiences in our life because that is what makes us who we are - and while I can't yet say that all of what happened in 2010 is something I am glad to have experienced; I can definitely appreciate what 2010 included Good & Bad:


1 - The loss of my sweet Mom


2 - My 30th birthday - along with a great surprise party thrown by Steve


3 - Steve was diagnosed with Type II diabetes - but has since lost over 60 lbs in his battle
to not let this disease rule his life.

4 - We had a failed attempt at InVitro Fertilization

5 - It was a tough economic and service year at my work


6 - Mark & Cera got engaged - and Aurora is growing into one of the cutest little toddlers we have ever seen

7 - Steve was promoted into a new department at work

8 - We were able to re-connect with old friends and family - it is funny how loss
brings you closer to others in your life 




9 - 3 Trips to Washington DC / Back East - A) I went in April to see my friend Kathleen B) Steve and I took his parents on a DC/Philadelphia trip in September C) I took my Dad back there for a train show



















10 - Many other great trips including: Disneyland, the Cabin, Denver and of Course St. George

Welcome 2011 !!!
