Grandma's house has been sold...many great memories there...but now it's time for someone else to make new memories.
Another year has come and gone...out with the old and in with the new. Things change...people change....and life changes. This year has been good to me and I look forward to what new adventures lie ahead.
Random things and thoughts that happened in 2010!
- As I sit and write this I think back to 1 year ago tonight...it was my first night in my new house. I've survied homeownership for 1 year....and I think I like it! (minus the flood)
- I volunteered to be part of the Partner's Campaign for the YMCA to help raise money for kids and families to be part of the Y. I was even named the rookie of the year for raising money. I will sign autographs later....my rookie card should be coming out soon!
- I organized an event at my school for National Wear Red day...everyone paid $5 to wear jeans and wore RED in celebration of Go Red for Women...I donated the money to the AHA .
- I got to meet the men that saved my life at my 1st celebration of life event with the CSFD...and my mom flew out to join us!
- I was part of the largest CPR event at a Sky Sox Baseball game in part with the CSFD and even got to throw out the first pitch and did 4 interviews with a few of the TV stations and the CSFD. How FUN!
- My littlest brother Michael graduated from high school!
- My sidekick Wendy and I helped with the Go RED for Women event this summer by getting silent auction donations from local business's. I couldn't have done it without her.
- I finished my paper for my Master's degree and am now a MASTER of something or another!
- Participated in a photo shoot this summer for a survivor gallery for the Go Red for Women event.....had sooo much fun doing it! Hmmm..maybe I should do more photo shoots?
- Had an extraordinary time with my Aunt Pam and her family this summer....we went whitewater rafting and it would have to be one of the highlights of the summer....I believe I got the backbend of the year award from Sonya.
- I became a CPR instructor and taught my 1st class.
- Had a great 4th of July with Torie and her family blowing up things in the backyard.
- Got a few little projects done around my house and hosted a few parties with many laughs!
- Slept on a patio lounger chair for an entire night!
- Celebrated with Anne in welcoming Easton James.
- Married Alex off to Jacob after many long talks to just go for it!
- Made a very good friend in Jennifer....who has been by my side during some rough times...so thankful to have her in my life! Thanks Mark. :)
- Many fun girl's nights with The Big C and Weeds.
- Learned to relax a little more....
- Friends like W and G and T that put up with my @*?! and still love me!
- Learned to give up and let go and have faith.....
- To 2 and 4 year olds that make my life amazing...you know who you are!
- To so much more but this post is getting so long...that I can't keep it up!

Ok..I'm way late in reading this but I love ya girl.
Given me some good thoughts on what I've learned in 2010 as well. A helluva ride but as one looks back there are some definite aha moments. God HAS been good and faithful to us....Very few things have gone the way David and I thought they would or SHOULD for that matter. It's been a real test and struggle for us to let go and let God handle things. But I look at the things that did go right and it's like "wow". We DID manage to survive. I look at my two boys and wonder how on earth did I get lucky enough to be entrusted with them? I look at relationships I have that while I may not see them face to face often they pick up right where we left off. I look at the fact that I have friends and family who I love and they love me. I look at the fact that I have a roof over my head and a full belly, running water and lights. I truly have so many things to be thankful for.
Thank you for your post my friend. It came at a good time tonight..even if I'm reading it so late! Somethings are meant to be! So thankful that you are still around to give a hug too...to chat on the phone with. God's done some amazing things in your life...can't wait to see what else He does with you :) Love you my friend. HUGS from here.
