New Year, new beginnings

I really cannot believe it is 2010. Every year I like to reflect on where my life has taken me and who I have become because of it. The past year absolutely flew by. I got engaged, married and crept one year closer to 30. It was truely a wonderful year in a nutshell. My wedding day was one of the best days of my life and right now I can still remember just about every detail...I hear that does fade away, but as long as there are more and more best days of my life I am fine with it! New memories that take presedence over old ones, just fill up my soul please! I went on one of the best vacations of my life, our honeymoon cruise! With two close friends of ours, it was a time I will never forget. I finally found a church that I really feel like I belong to, a place where I can call home and the people my new found family. I am trying to get to know people and get involved with things with every opportunity. It is nice to be able to finally share this with a person who is as equally passionate as I am about God, my husband.

Of course, there was some not so great events that occured last year, my Papa passed away. It is frustrating to me that I never really got the opportunity to know him as the wonderful man he was to so many people. He had Parkinsons disease and had been unable to do things such as hold a conversation for a long enough time period that I only remember bits and pieces of his voice.
The economy has still been hard to handle, especially being a newlywed and learning about sharing finances etc etc, you know what I am saying :)

Well, all in all, I look forward to all the firsts this upcoming year as a newlywed. I am excited for all of my friends that have started or are starting familys and watching the little ones grow. I hope to be there to encourage Randy this year after he graduates to help with his path of becomming who he wants to be and hope he will find the road he wants to take for his career. Oh and I hope to beat him about 10 or more times at Jeopardy throughout the year ;)

Happy New Year everyone!
