Looking Forward & Looking Back






At the beginning of a new year, I reflect on how quickly the last year flew by and I relish in memories while I can still remember! (My brain is sadly dwindling in the memory department.)  How blessed we were in 2010!

We started off the year newly married- what an exciting feeling that was (and still is). 



I don't think there really was an "adjustment" period- we jumped right into melding our lives together. Not even stealing covers or snoring could ruin the excitement of sharing a bed together... and we each knew we could laugh, cry, and even "shoot a bunny" without the judgement of another. 

What JOY!  ;-)

2010 was a year of hard work for the both of us.  Working two jobs was no easy task for me, and John would probably utter the same sentiment because he was busy renovating our home and taking care of his tired wife after working a full day himself.  We knew the hard work would pay off- setting our sights on saving enough money to purchase our first home "together"- a great opportunity to work together toward a common goal.

Hard work should always be followed by great fun.  We enjoyed trips to Colorado, Cancun, and Disneyland with family and friends, amongst other mini excursions. As John has chronicled so beautifully on the blog, you can see we had our share of fun in life this last year.

As this new year commences, (I cannot believe it is already February!)

we are once again setting our sights on great things ... 

We recently purchased a new home and will be very busy in the coming months making this home "ours".  John is GREAT (did I say GREAT?) at remodeling and doing work around the house and we are anxious to complete the work so we can enjoy the fruits of our labor with all of you!

Baby? When are we going to have a baby? (That seems to be the million dollar question lately..) When I am asked that, I think of the age-old phrase "a watched pot never boils" and that some things work out in their own time.  We both want to have a family. We understand our divine roles as parents and we we promise we will let everyone know when our pot is boiling  :)

2011 is a hopeful year for us.... may it be the same for you.  In the meanwhile, John will post updates on our home renovation and we will be busy once again .....
