I am very ready for 2010 to be done, over, finis. The last half of this year has been a tough one with two miscarriages and a layoff all wrapped into a less than thrilling package. I am hoping for better things in 2011. However, the year was not all downs. I really do have much to be thankful for. I am healthy, I have an incredible hubby who loves me dearly, friends who make me smile and a family that I cannot even begin to put into words what they mean to me.
Believe me when I say these wonderful blessings are not ignored. Below is my recap of them:
January: Memories — ringing in the New Year at the cabin McCall, perhaps my favorite place of all
February: UPWARD — being involved helped me see how something small can make a huge difference
March: Laughter — my amazingly funny and talented girlfriends can always make me smile
April: My Dad — always willing to lend a hand or a shoulder when I need it
May: Life — welcoming my 5th nephew Connor into the world
June: My Sister — sharing secrets and excitement like we were little girls again
July: Love — jumping for joy when I found out Lindzee and Javier are engaged
August: Our trip to Chicago — it’s incredible what a little travel can do to lift a down spirit
September: My Mom — laughing and crying and laughing some more until I felt better
October: I turned 30 with a whole lot of love — making it the most special birthday to date
November: Health — finding out Grandma Rene was going to be ok and was released from the hospital
December: My husband — for finding the light at the end of the tunnel, without him I couldn’t have weathered the storms of this year
So out the door with 2010…2011 I am waiting with welcoming arms!

Oh Michelle! What a lovely recap of the year. Although it was so tough – know that we grow the most and learn about God the most while we’re in the valley.
