My dad was diagnosed with non-hodge kins lymphoma.....a bumpy start to a new year.
February-
Bryan and I decided to celebrate Valentines Day on February 13th. This has many advantages. We loved each other even though it wasn't Feb. 14th. We had the entire movie theater to our selves. We could eat dinner at 6:00 p.m. with no wait. Now that's a way to celebrate!!!! We are going to do it again this year!
March-
Mason celebrated his very first birthday! We took an awesome family vacation to Gulfport, MS to visit Dave and Susan and the kids. We also went to New Orleans and Pensacola, FL. This was one of the best vacations we've ever had as a family.

I celebrated my birthday. Bryan gave me an iPod. I was very excited about it then and I still am!!
August-
We tried east coast camping for the first time. After living in a big city for a while, we really loved to get away and enjoy nature!
September-
Boston! I really like Boston. It's in my Top 3 cities I have visited so far. The others are San Fransisco and Providence, RI. Alyssa started Kindergarten!! Cally came to visit. It was really good to see her again.
October-
October started off bad and ended bad. After many E.R. visits, Mason was hospitalized for the first time due to his Asthma. He's a tough little guy. Alyssa and I both were sick for a week. She had croup and I had the flu. Glad to get October over with.
November-
Recovering from October. Rob came to visit us. We had a great time with him. We took him to Lambertville, NJ. Rob said he was surprised to have never heard of this charming little town before. He really liked it. And we really liked his visit! Tom and Dorothy also visited for Thanksgiving. We had our friends Kevin and Ashley come for dinner as well. It was a beautiful dinner and a great week with Tom and Dorothy.
December-
I lost my only blood sibling, Kerry, on the first. He was in car accident in Gillette, WY. He was not wearing his seat belt. A lesson to be learned by all those that don't!!! Then I just got news that our birth-grandmother, passed away on Friday. She was very sick with emphysema and edema. Her legs would seep so badly the bandages had to be changed every hour on the hour. So, bless her heart......she isn't in pain any more. December dragged on and on and on. I am SUPER happy that December is over in a few hours. Oh, Christmas was nice despite all of life's distractions. The kids had a fun time!! But,I think I will take down the tree ASAP!
So, here's to a New Year! I have already made my goals.....I will let you know if I accomplish any.
