2011: Year in Review

I can not believe it is already time for another year in review! Wow! This has been the quickest year of my life, and most definitely one of the strangest.

January:

We celebrated our one year anniversary, and planned a move to San Antonio.

We Moved!

I started substitute teaching. 

February:

Joe spent all but two days of it in Washington D.C. Meanwhile, we had favorite things.

I visited my man in Alexandria! Fell in love by the way.

March:

We got some new furniture. 

We counted fifty things.

My sister and her husband spent a week with us in SA and Houston.

April:

My grandmother passed away, and we celebrated her life. 

We had our "100th"!

We took part in San Antonio's Fiesta.

May:

We added this little guy to our family. 

Joshua had his 5th birthday!

June:

We had too much fun in June to find time to blog. All the actions was recapped here.

July:

My Dad and I spent two weeks in Jelgava, Latvia. 

Joe and I spent way too much money at Borders when they were going out of business.

August:

The McPails had a reunion.

We beat the heat!

September:

We spent a day in our 'hood. 

We went home to Aggieland.

Rémy had to wear the cone of shame. 

October:

My boo turned 25.

My Papa went home to be with His Lord.

We got the official news that we would be moving to Washington D.C. in early summer.

November:

We went to the Texas Renaissance Festival.

I dreamed of hosting my own thanksgiving. 

We celebrated Thanksgiving with Joe's family.

December:

We had 12 (almost) dates of Christmas.

We had our second Christmas card.

We celebrated Christmas Eve and Christmas day in Houston with our families.

2011 was quite a year. It held a lot of changes and triumphs. It also held some tragedies. We buried both of my grandparents in a six month span, and of course this was not easy. The holiday season has been the most difficult. My grandfather loved Christmas, and they were both early missed at our dinning table on the 25th. 

Through everything God has been so gracious to us. I pray that as we enter into 2012 that he would prepare our hearts for what he has teach us, and lead us where we should go. 

Happy New Year!
