Elated in 2010

So many blessings came our way in 2010, this may sound a bit cheesy but my heart overflows with happiness when I think back on all the adventures and great moments in 2010. To start my sister had her 1st son Liam, what a happy kid he is. My family and I experienced so much this year. We had a great vacation in Venice, FL during July 4th, it was such a beautiful place. The condo we had was a short walk from the ocean, Venice is a small town and not very commercialized so the beaches had so much wild life. We saw manatees, sharks, and swam with the dolphins it was awesome! We also made some great friends while we were there and went crabbin with them and the kids got along so well. Nightime crabbin for the first time was a halarious experience for us city folk. We got the condo in Venice through the MM auction. I am so blessed to be working for such a great company which has taken me so many places this year, and I know its only the begining of our journey with them. In March 2010 I presented in front of 200 people on the Grand Ol Opry Stage, as well as played the guitar on stage. Never thought I'd do this. I made some great friends while working at SBI, and was able to bring my friends the Warren bros to Convention. It was awesome to see Raquel and visit TN, after that I was known as the one who broght the Warren bros to convention which was a good thing. It was great to travel but a bit challenging to leave the family, I am so lucky for everything I have. After a few weeks on the road and a dealing with a depressed husband a physchic helped me realize how lucky I was. I have a great husband that is so loving and two beautiful kids we have so much fun together.
We got backstage passes to Tim McGraw, Lady Antebelum concert, doesn't get any better than that, and we took all the marketing girls. I am so lucky to have gone backstage it was an unforgetable night. Was able to have dinner with the Monks yet another unforgetable night.
I think this year was the most challenging for our marriage, but we've worked through it and feel we've grown stronger. Sandra has helped in many ways.
I wanted to try and reach out to my Dad this year by sending txt of great Quotes which was fun until I started getting insane txt bills. I did get to write my favorite quote on the Coffee House wall. "Create the grandest vision of your life because you become what you believe." So many great quotes still thinkin about starting a business featuring all these great quotes on poster, wall art, who knows we'll see where 2011 takes me. Speaking of 2011 my resolutions last year were to quit smoking and work out regularly. I am proud to say that I have quit and thanks to my sista Aimee I got a membership and go to the gym regularly. One thing I didn't do in 2010 is get together with Friends enough, maybe twice got together with the girls. Its great to make new friends at work and in the neighborhood, but sad to see some of my friendships drift. Thank Godness for neighbors late night talks with Nicole kept me sane. The last challenge in life was the loss of his job, after many nights wondering what I was going to do I have accepted it and found the silver lining. My hubby is now a stay at home Dad and life is much easier for me.
Mike and I had our 11 year anniversary, and went camping and canoeing on the Rifle. Good times we shared there on that river. I am looking forward to so many new adventures in 2011 with the family.
