New Beginnings...or Something Like That.

Sorry for the delay!

 Well, Goodbye 2010! Of course you can't say goodbye without giving the Tops List...so here is ours:

 Yep, Grace is gone...such a bittersweet time for me. I am so blessed to have had both dream cars of mine. Had some great times in that car but it's time to make new memories in the XTerra...name has yet to be determined...I need to drive her a little more before I give her a good name.

 Did my first girls retreat and it was a blast! Could not have done it without my dear friend Kyleigh. I am so thankful for this girl! She is one of those friends you keep for life! Aren't I super lucky? I think so!

Got through my first year of teaching! It was a roller coaster, but God really had a hand in it! Had to leave that job because of enrollment, but gained another one for the same reason! So thank God for that!

 We celebrated 6 years! Wow! Time flies.

 I sewed my first dresses for my nieces! I am so proud of them, I've only had my sewing machine for 4 years now.

 Got to spend more time with Graden, our nephew. He has grown up so much and we heard our names for the first time this year from him! Adorable! We love being an Uncle and Aunt!

 We also met our nieces for the first time! As you can see, Addison found her a buddy!

 And Uncle Matt soaked it all in!

 This is my little Jammers! Her name is Jaidra.

 And this is Addison...also known as Addie Mae!

WE HAD A WHITE CHRISTMAS!! I can't tell you the last time I had a white Christmas! We took full advantage of it! We decided to take the hood of one of the farm trucks and hook it up to the truck and go for a ride! BOY WAS IT COLD!!! BRRRRR!!!

 Papa brought Meg out, and he had to check on us! I love him!

Yes, it was so cold that the ice was freezing to his beard!

 (Don't mind the Michelin Man on the right.)

 You should have seen me walk in all those clothes! haha! I couldn't hardly move...I am surprised that I was able to get my hand to my face! The snow hit so fast and it was so cold I literally lost my breath! It was painful...but it sure was fun!

Apparently I was tired! I took a 4 hour nap!

 We had a great Christmas in Kentucky!

 Now it's time for Arkansas...

 Daniel finally got his John Deere blanket!! He was so excited! Mom had been promising him that for YEARS! Love it!

 We had a great time in Arkansas! I played cards with my family and Matt kicked back with my Dad and read books and watched movies...a pretty relaxing time!

 After all the great things in 2010, God granted us another blessing! My sister found out she's having a baby girl!!! (which I have already nicknamed Brookie!)

 I am so thankful for all the many blessing 2010 had within it! We have such a great set of family and friends! We could not ask for better...

And 2011 is already promising some great blessings:

THE Ohio State beat Arkansas!!!

(in the craziest game ever!)

WE love you all and are looking forward to what this year has to bring. There is going to be a lot of change this year for us with job changes and selling the house and making decisions on what our next step will be, so keep us in your prayers! I will keep you updated though! So keep checking in!
