What a year!

As we celebrated the New Year last weekend I couldn't help but to feel blessed and so hopeful for what 2011 has in store.   Kurt & I have grown immensely in the last few years but I think 2010 in particular sparked some big changes in both of us.  We've grown up in many ways and have grown closer in even more ways... it was a great year!

2010 marked the first full year that we were not students.  It came with new responsibilities and new possibilties all the same.  It was full of excitement, opportunities, successes and yes, some challenges too.  We tackled some really big tasks this past year and it's hard to imagine a year with more significant happenings... we made our first apartment a place we'll never forget, we got more involved in our church, we made the decision to spend forever together, Kurt became an entreprenuer, we committed to the Cedar Valley by buying our first house, welcomed a new nephew, became pet parents when we took Rockie home, fell in love with Pita and had to adopt him too, started a retirement fund, and we began planning our wedding... whew!  What a year!!!! 

Since 2011 is the year of our wedding we're pretty sure it's in the running to top 2010... but boy, it might be tough!  =D  With that being said... so far, 2011 is the best year yet.  We had a really fun NYE with our friends Lauren & Kevin... they took us out in Cedar Rapids. We learned the next morning that we're not as young as we used to be. lol! 

Thanks to everyone who helped make 2010 a special year for us!  We can't wait to see what 2011 has in store...
