Good Bye 2010 – Hello 2011

I must admit that 2010 was a good year. Probably the best year of my life! So many good things happened to me and I have been so blessed!! I thought I’d do a  little big picture recap of some highlights of our 2010 adventures…

Of course we had lots of snow…

My Grandparents

When my Grandparents were married and the words “til death do us part” were spoken, they truly meant what they said. What an example these two have been to their children as well as to their grandchildren. I’m sure during their many years of marriage they faced some very tough times. But they got through each of them and this year on December 8th they were able to celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary!!! This is probably a number few couples get to celebrate together. And you can tell they still love each other plus now when they do get annoyed at one another they have the advantage of just turning their hearing aids off!! :-)

Pap Grandma 65th

This has been (from my point of view) quite a year for Pap and Grandma.


They were able to attend my wedding (which was very special for me)!!

Happy 65th Anniversary

What Did You Find In Your Washer Today?

Normally when you look in your washer you possibly see a forgotten sock, pieces of lint, if your lucky maybe even some loose change. But me? Nope, I wouldn’t be that fortunate. As I get ready to throw a load of whites in the washer I look down. And I spotted something… What is that? Ewww gross, I jump back thinking I’m going crazy. Then slowly it’s back for a second look… Sure enough, there was a BAT in my washing machine!!! This I truly could have lived without. But Dad was nice enough to come to the rescue since Mike was still at work. Thanks Dad and enjoy your new pet!! :-)

She’s laughing because you can do that when there’s only 4 candles on your cake. Enjoy it now Hannah!! ;-)

Never hurts to have help blowing out your candles. :-)
