Way back in 2010

Michele...I liked your post! I am going to copy you.

2010 was nuts and I can't believe all that it encompassed. There were so many difficult times and so many wonderful times that I need to write this down so I don't forget. Let's start with the difficult times. My stepson had probably the most emotionally struggling year of his life which created some of the biggest fights, unmeasurable stress, worry, tears shed at home. This really tested the strength of my new marriage. But we stuck together as a family and rode out the storm. We finally have entered the light at the end of his dark tunnel with hope for his future and well-being.

Ok, enough of the bad stuff. The incredible stuff was this....
  • I began a new position at my company and celebrated 10 years of employment with 9 weeks of vacation time.
  • My husband built our new bedroom and I got to decorate!
  • My sister moved an hour from me.
  • I fell in love with my new sport, SUP.
  • I paid off my car.
  • I got hooked on acupuncture and Yin yoga.
  • I watched my brother get married.
  • I lost weight, gained weight, lost weight again.
  • I tried to start a new family (sorry Jace).
  • I become an advanced pilates student.
  • I saw old friends and made new ones.
  • I celebrated a milestone birthday.
  • And finally there was all the TRAVEL!!! I went to Georgia 2 times, Virginia, Texas 3 times, California 4 times, Canada 2 times, Idaho, Arizona 2 times, Colorado, Maine like 6 times, Florida, Massachusetts, Illinois 2 times, Hawaii, and Mexico. Yes, I have rediculous amounts of frequent flier miles (which would be useless if my husband wasn't also in love with travelling....I suppose the first class cabin helps, right Eric?).

I am curious to what 2011 will be like.
