The End of a Decade

As I sit by a toasty fire tonight it totally blows my mind that another decade has come and gone. Remember Y2k? I swear that was just last year. As I think back over the last 10 years I can't believe all that has happened; here's just a sampling...

graduated high school

married my best friend

bought and sold our first home

lost my dad to cancer

graduated college

gave birth to 2 beautiful boys

opened and closed a photography business

moved to a new state away from all our family

The list is smaller than the mental list I've got running through my mind. I truly am amazed at all that has happened, both the good and the bad as well as moments that have been happy and others that have been heartbreaking.

I am looking forward to the new year and this new decade with all the changes that will happen in our lives. Aaron will gradate school (finally) and we'll actually have a real job with a real paycheck (hopefully). If we're lucky we'll add a couple more family members and maybe even buy a house (wishful thinking). Don't you just get excited looking to the future and all the possibilities?

I have a mental list of goals for this next year and will hopefully get them written down soon. Here's to a new year and a new decade of improving and becoming the person I want to be. May you all have a fantastic twenty ten!
