Hoping 2011 be Merry and Bright......

I think I say this EVERY year but seriously 2010 went by in a heartbeat! I just can't believe how fast time is going but that's what my Grandma Crilow always told me....the older you are the faster time goes. Plus I think having a child speeds things up too!


Looking back at 2010 besides all the snow we got the start of 2010 was quiet, in Feb. we did get new windows with our tax refund and LOVE them! It was a good project for Josh to do physical labor instead of mental labor he does during tax season. I can't say I can put a window in by myself but I can tell you how step by step :)

The Spring of 2010 was a good one! In March we took a little getaway to CoCo Key Resort in Newark. Josh needed to get away for a weekend since he works such long hours during tax season. What a beautiful resort it was and Avery had a ball! We hope to go again in March if we get another awesome deal :) We celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary and we also got to go visit my Dad in St. Croix! That was Avery's first trip and first plane ride.

The Summer of 2010 was great weather wise, June was a blur since we were gone for half of it, Avery had a Birthday when we got home...the BIG 3, signed her up for swimming lessons - one of the best things I ever did. Lots of swimming at Proper's pool. In August Avery started Pre School another one of the best things I ever did! She is the youngest in her class but is doing VERY well! She absolutely loves school, her friends and most importantly her teachers! I can't believe how many things she is learning.

The Fall was another busy time with tons of activites, events, me having my "tax time" at one of my 3 part time jobs and September blessed us with another beach vacation in S. Carolina. I'm actually scrapbooking that trip right now and it's fun to scrapbook a beach vaca while it's snowing and cold out!


Then in a blink of an eye it's Decemeber! I just don't know where the time goes but I try to make the most of every day, believe me this is a challenge some days! 2010 didn't bring all that we wanted but we are truly blessed by all it did bring us and we are thankful for everything and most importantly our family and friends! Looking forward to 2011 to be Merry and Bright and can't wait to see what enfolds for us this coming New Year!


Happy New Ear as Miss Avery used to sing :)
