Looking back this year has been filled with so much joy, laughter, sadness and tears. I have to say a very well rounded year! I am very excited to see what 2011 has to bring for not only us, but also friends and family. We will be visiting some very very important people at the end of January (a visit that is long overdue!), my sister is getting married at the end of February, I just found out my cousins are expecting their first in June, Brit and Lucas are expecting their first in July, Bryan and Jenny are getting married in September, and my mom will be turning 60 in October. So far looks like this year is already off to a great start and is going to give us lots of reasons to be thankful and celebrate!
Sometimes we lose sight of what life is really about. My experiences, my friends and my family have taught me that life is way to short to sit and dwell on the past. I do feel that reflection and acceptance are very important, but most of all I believe that forgiveness makes us who we are today and prepares us for the future. I hope everybody welcomes 2011 with open arms and smiles. Embrace everything life has to offers! It may not all be good, but that makes the good moments even better!
One more thing that 2011 has to offer mike and me is a year filled with wedding planning!! I have been doing some research as far as DIY stuff and budget weddings! We were talking last night--I think I need some input on this. We are thinking that a small wedding is our only option! The issue is we have so many people we want to share this special day with. What do you guys think of a small wedding--and then for example having a party in CO for those that we want to celebrate with, but cant invite to the wedding?
If anybody has some blogs or sites they would recommend for "budgeting brides" let me know!
Farewell to 2010 (just a few photos from last year--when we welcomed in 2010--seems like yesterday!)
