It seems fitting that my 2010 post would follow directly after my Christmas post. I never post anything when I plan. I’m putting that on my goals list for 2011 though.
2010 seems to have flown by faster than years past. It was a busy year at times, but then others we were able to sit back and relax. The fact that today is December 31st still blows my mind. It doesn’t seem like it should be here yet. At the same time, our kids also can’t be as old as they are, yet, they are.
2010 brought much joy. So much joy. Lots of laughters, and moments that made me say “Awwwww”.
In 2010 I got a little older, to the point where I’ve started forgetting how old I am. Seriously, I have to think of the year I was born and figure it out. No, I’m not really that old.
In 2010, our daughter was born, and my stepson became the best big brother! He also entered first grade. This is why I feel so old.
In 2010 our daughter got 6 teeth, started crawling then the next day started cruising/walking. She’s on the go constantly now, and loves playing with anything musical.
In 2010 my stepson lost his first teeth, and made out like a bandit with the tooth fairy.
There are well over 6000 pictures documenting the year 2010. And we had family pictures taken in South Carolina and Michigan.
In the summer of 2010 we played at the lake, watched lots of T-ball games, had weekly storytime in the park, went to see Chipmunks: The Squeckuel, Toy Story 3 (yes, I cried) and Despicable Me in our tiny town theatre that made it so much more enjoyable, went to minor league baseball games, caught lots of fish, and ate far too much ice cream.
In 2010, we had lots of family time, playing a whole lot of board games, video games on the Wii, running around the house and swimming in the backyard.
I attempted my first networking experiences in 2010, and neither of them turned out at I thought, or resulted in actually networking.
I attended my first ICLE seminar and became part of the ICLE Partnership.
I took a Family Law exam for an Associate Attorney position and got an interview, but, unfortunately, didn’t get the job. The drive alone makes me okay with not getting the job, although I would have loved the job.
I read a lot more books than in years past thanks to my Kindle.
In 2010, we owned 5 cars, now only 4. We said goodbye to a family pet who is now with a new family, with much more room for him to play. We did less remodeling than in years past, and took less trips. We were a blessing to others, and blessed ourselves.
We lived plenty, laughed lots, loved unconditionally. It was a blessed year, that went by far too fast. But I look forward to all that 2011 has to offer!
Here’s to you, here’s to us, here’s to 2011 being a wonderful year for everyone!
