January is one of my favorite months. I love the new possibilities that come with a new year. I love the sense of being able to start over fresh. 2010 was one of the best and worst years of my life. Pat & I had some difficult struggles, most of which I'd rather not talk in depth about in this forum. (Those of you that know us well are familiar with the medical problems and family issues that we were faced with this year.) But we've also had some incredibly wonderful times together, as individuals and as a couple. We were blessed to travel a ton this year (Disneyland, Vegas, Montana, New York), we survived a difficult year of stress and struggles that come with graduate school, Pat got a much-deserved promotion and raise at work, and we kicked off the end of 2010 with a whirlwind 2 weeks of seeing both sides of our family in New York and then Montana, and celebrated the end of 2010 with some great friends.
I have a feeling 2011 will be a better year for us. There are so many new possibilities ahead. I will graduate in May, we will be traveling to Montana in June to celebrate my little brother's high school graduation, followed by a much-deserved week of relaxation in the Caribbean. 2011 is full of promise for our little family of 2, and I can't wait to see what this year holds.
Cheers to the New Year! We sincerely hope your lives are as blessed as ours.
