I am a little out of commission today. I had my surgery on my right eye and am doing well but do not really feel like going out. I think the Valium and codeine have made me pretty out of it and a bit nauseous. I can see a difference in my vision already but am a little blurry up close...so hopefully my typing is OK. I am avoiding looking at the screen.
This is my last post in 2011…so weird to think that tomorrow will be 2012. It sounds so futuristic. 2011 – was another great year. I feel so blessed to have a wonderful and healthy family, amazing friends, a great job that allows me to see beautiful places, and just overall happiness. This year has been a good one. What else can a girl ask for?
Let me see…this year...
I started the year off being pregnant. Waiting for our little girls arrival.
One of my biggest dreams came true when I stepped off the plane in Greece. This same trip I also got to go to Italy for the first time… Both were beautiful and had amazing food. A pregnant girls dream! Later in the year I made my first visit to Germany. Another beautiful country.
We welcomed our precious little princess. Meli has been a great addition to our family.
My mom and younger brother came out for a visit. Colin had so much fun with Uncle Greggie.
We had a fantastic summer with our outdoor adventures, especially at the pool and water garden.
We celebrated birthdays and started introducing Meli to our holiday traditions.
Looking forward - I am excited to (fingers-crossed) be finishing up my Bachelor’s degree, exploring some new countries, spending time with my babies, watching them grow way too fast, and spending time with my sweet husband (who knows maybe this year we will get to take a trip together sans babies…maybe). My goals are to be a better student (no procrastination), get back into my shredding (Wendy got me started and it is a great workout), open a gym membership once I graduate, rekindle some old hobbies (reading, knitting, etc) and start some new ones (canning, gardening, etc), make even more time for kid crafts and family activities, and to just enjoy what comes.

We ended the year with an amazing Christmas. As I said, 2011 has been a great year filled with many memories that I will cherish forever.
