2010 has brought many changes in our lives. We started the year in Laramie, Wyoming as Michael was attending graduate school there. Joshua turned 4 in February, in March we traveled to Oregon to see family and Idaho to see dear friends. Will turned 1 in May and we moved from Laramie to Fort Collins, Colorado where Michael got a job working for Northwestern Mutual. We really felt at the time that it was God's plan for us to move to Colorado, with how smooth the transition was. It has been a hard 7 months, trying to find friends, Michael trying to find client, trying to find where we fit in but I think we are doing better. We have met some wonderful friends at our church and Michael seems to be doing better at his job just pray for more clients!
In July one of my best friends got married, we were there for about two weeks helping with preparations. The wedding was beautiful and she looked gorgeous! While we were in that part of the neighborhood we saw Michael's sister and family for a few days. The cousins enjoyed playing together and were very sad when it was time to go.
In September my baby sister got married to her childhood friend. I was blessed to be the Matron of Honor. I am very happy with them and know that God truly blessed them with each other.
The months of November and December have been filled with making Christmas gifts for my family, I'm very excited to give them all away. We bought all the kids toys (gently) used or I am making them. I made Will a quilt, pillow case, and quiet book. For Joshua I made some bean packs (to heat up for sore muscles or when he is cold), and a lego table. It should be a fun Christmas in Cheyenne.
It is so hard to believe it is December already! I cannot believe my children are almost 5 and 2! WOW where does the time go? I truly hope the next year is filled with fun, that Michael's job becomes enjoyable, and that time slows down.
We hope you all have a wonderful and blessed time with family and friends this Christmas!
