...2010

I lay in bed again, but this time alone and at 11:11 on 1.1.11. My first post of the year will be about the past year.

A few events that define 2010...

I turned 26 years old.

I reluctantly joined the FB world.

I carried our little baby #2 for 7.5 weeks.

I grieved and cherished the passing of our little baby.

I felt the arms of Christ around me.

I grieved and celebrated the life of Grandpa Bub.

I visited a destination on my Bucket List...Alaska.

I celebrated my sweet Rea's 2nd birthday.

I started another adventure with CCS...librarian.

I supported my man's pursuit in a new business venture.

I joined the iPhone family.

I spent a week with extended family at the beach, but without my husband.

I learned of our little baby #3.

I grieved and began to process my FIL's future.

I felt Christ's peace and hope in our lives.

I celebrated the news of a new little girl with a gender reveal party.

I traveled with my girl to see new sites and good friends in RI.

I facilitated my first book fair.

I supported my husband in accepting a new position and renewed commitment to AG.

I relaxed in the mountains of Blue Ridge.

I concluded the fabulous year relying on Christ to carry me through a difficult season and trusting His plan all while choosing joy.

As I reflect, I am reminded that He is good ALL the time...faithful always. My heart is content as a new year begins!

NYE

I'm laying in bed with my 2 1/2 YEAR old with only moments left in 2010. As fireworks go off around us, I'm reflecting on all that was jammed packed into this YEAR and yet it seemed to fly by.

Since Adams Group is in the middle of their move, it is requiring all of JMA's attention. We had family pictures this morning then he went in. I didn't want him to have to have BK or Subway one more time, so Rea and I took up some Cracker Barrel and visited for a bit.

Ringing in the New Year

I was thinking I should post some pics from new year's before changing my New Year's background, huh?


When: New Year's
Where: Our friend's hunting "cabin" in Arcadia
Why: to be with friends and family and ring in the new year (Correction: I put "bring in" on the video. Oops!)
What: camping and boy activities...good memories.

My SIL, Arwyn, was visiting us, so she went with us. Overall, we had a great time. Reagan didn't sleep well at night, so that was pretty miserable. She does great during the day! Enjoy the video...

GET YOUR GLASSES OUT...the font is really small! Sorry!

Catching Up

You will find a variety of posts today in effort to catch up on all that has been happening!


First....


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Us on River Bank Way wish you and your favorite people a happy and healthy 2009! I hope to entertain you with countless quality posts this year!


Second...


Reagan is now 6 months old! I cannot believe it! (I know...every parent says that.) She is such a fun baby! She makes all sorts of noises and vocal intonations. She is very laid back and happy. I love when she smiles at strangers at the store instead of just staring. I see her personality developing more and more everyday. She still hasn't resumed her habit of sleeping through the night. I don't have the 6 month picture ready yet, but I realized I never posted the 5 month picture. I'll get you the 6 month picture soon!
