goodbye 2010! This past year was filled with lots of changes, hard work, drama, self exploration... here is a quick rundown of things that stick out in my mind.
2010...
I went to school and worked full time.... celebrated another year of marriage... watched Eli grow past six feet tall... watched Dave work long and hard at the store... was completely shocked, listened and prayed when we found out that some of our closest friends were abusing their children... gained two beautiful girls as my daughters... worked with the girls as they struggled (and still do) to heal from the abuse they endured... completed 47 hours of college credit.... filled out my intent to graduate... took four praxis tests... watched my youngest baby start kindergarten and my oldest son start high school... watch two beautiful girls grow daily and learn to laugh and love... joyfully watch my extended family open their homes and hearts to my girls... learn what an extended support system really is....
I guess I could go on and on. While 2010 was eye opening, difficult and shocking at times, my family was blessed. We learned to have family meetings, depend on each other, take votes, and be open to all sorts of situations - from my school, to the store, to my work, change in church... So, I guess I can say that 2010 was a year of growth.
I am ready for 2011. It is gonna be exciting!
You're becoming a very good writer too! Happy 2011!
