Happy New Year!

January 1, 2011

Wow - seems so strange to write that!

It feels like only a few months ago when I was writing my New Year's post for 2010, it's crazy to realize that it's actually been 12 whole months - it went by in such a blur!

So many things happened in my life in 2010, there were lot's of good times, but also some hard, pretty bad times. I made it through though, and am grateful for everything and all the leasons learned.

Significant things/moments of 2010:


- I travelled to Africa again and got to spend time doing work in both Uganda and Kenya and connect with people I really care about

- I got to go to The Bahamas with Chris for some much needed rest and relaxation

- I turned 30

- my father-in-law Stanley passed away after an extended stay in the hospital

- my sister got pregnant

- I learned (finally) how to play guitar

- I ran my first 10k race


There were a lot of other important moments throughout the year, and a lot of smaller "normal", "run of the mill" moments that filled me with happiness and gratefullness and were often the ones I remember most fondly.

Looking forward to the next year, I hope that it's full of both small and big moments, and that I'm wise enough to recognize them while they're happening. I know that there are some big changes coming up very soon (which I'll be posting about in the next few days), and I'm really excited about what the next 12 months will bring.

Here's to 2010, and here's to the journey that awaits us all in 2011!!
