Well here we are, one week into 2010. Over the past few weeks I have done much reflecting on the past decade, and all that has come and gone in my life. 10 years ago I was a senior in high school, unsure of what my life was going to look like in 10 years. I remember thinking about what I would look like, and if I would be married and how many children I would have.
Today I feel very blessed with my life and all that I have. I met and married the man of my dreams. I had a beautiful daughter. My husband was hired for his dream job, and we moved away from home. Even though I lost my Grandpa in 2005, I am comforted knowing that he is never out of my heart and thoughts, and still visits me in my dreams once in a while. I just have to remember that there is still so much to do and so much life to live, and I cannot wait to see what the next 10 years hold for us.
This Christmas was the first in 3 years that we were able to go "home" for Christmas Eve. Luckily we made it before the 24 inches of snow fell in Duluth. We made it to Grandma Tawney's house on the 24th, and had such a great time with Derrick's side of the family. The kids ran around and played together while the adults feasted on appetizers and Asti. Perfect night I'd say!
We spent Christmas morning with my parents, and watched Jordyn get spoiled (as usual). Then it was back to Derrick's moms where we opened gifts and had prime rib. Yum! It was such a nice few days and even though it was good to head home, I had really missed our families. Now, we can finally unwind and relax from the holidays.
Well, it's about time to wrap up this post. See you next time!!
