Goodbye, 2010

With 2010 drawing to a close, I look back at it mostly with sadness. There were a lot of things this year that were tragic and brought struggle at times. And while I am in a bit of a funk going into the new year, I am trying my best to grasp a thread of hope to take me into 2011. I think I will just leave the year with this sentiment. If that doesn't fire up hope in your soul, I don't know what will.





Also, Nelly made me smile. :)




Happy New Year!!

Christmas

Christmas has come and gone for another year. We spent the day with family, and it was the merriest Christmas I can remember in a long time! Everybody was cheery and we had a great Christmas Eve and Day together!

On Christmas Eve, we headed down to Mama and Daddy's house, about an hour away. Some sights that greeted us:






Christmas Eve Sunset on the road Mama and Daddy live on.



Mama and Daddy had fixed some awesome chili and hot dogs for Christmas Eve supper, which is our tradition. Daddy really outdid himself this year on the chili! It was the best chili evah!




We all opened a few presents:



Ginger got Mama a really huge bar of peppermint soap. We joked that it was as big as a phone, so Mama had to make a minty phone call. :D



Ginger, with her gifts from Larry:



A GORGEOUS wooden carved owl Mama and Daddy got me. I love him!!



We went home and came back for Christmas Day!



Everybody came, and we had such a fun day! Here are some shots from the day:

From our house to yours...



Hope you had the Merriest Christmas...



...and have a very happy 2011!!

Happy Birthday, Sweetsies

Today, he is 36. So, half his lifetime ago, I started sharing his life with him. Every birthday, every year, I am reminded of how blessed I am to do so.





He is my everything. My rock, my soulmate, my kittydaddy, my whole world.




Happy Birthday, Sweetheart! I love you!

An October Afternoon on December 1st

I was contacted earlier today by someone at October Afternoon, saying they wanted to feature my "Focus" layout on their blog today! They saw it over at 2 Peas. This is so exciting because OA is my favorite paper manufacturer! Yay!
