Dominic and I have resolved to make the verbage switch to “twenty ten” and “twenty eleven” instead of the long winded “two thousand and ________”. Yep, we are all over significant resolutions.
Now, on to the fun stuff … in the big ol’ TWENTY TEN we experienced more than we could have imagined. It has left us both in a sense of wonder at what all can happen in one year. Here’s to another great one!
JANUARY
 |
||
| We held out to the end of the month for the big excitement … WE’RE PREGNANT (January 30th). |
FEBRUARY
 |
| Sadly, we couldn’t even remember what we did for Valentine’s Day and we have no picture as reference … perhaps because pregnancy tiredness hit me hard and I slept the whole month … and got a haircut :) |
MARCH
 |
| Dominic flew to Nashville for Dave Ramsey’s Financial Counselor Training … I slept some more and grew our little baby |
APRIL
 |
||
| Dominic was on the hunt for a new job this spring and since he had free time we decided to take a fun day trip to the coast. I moved into the 2nd trimester and we relished in the excitement that we were going to be parents soon! |
MAY
 |
|
|
JUNE
 |
| I definitely popped in June – baby is for sure coming! |
JULY
 |
| Our dear friends Nate & Lacey were married and baby shower madness began! |
AUGUST
 |
| Our last pre-baby getaway to celebrate our 3rd anniversary … a lovely weekend at the Gorge. |
SEPTEMBER
 |
| We bought our first car together, one big enough to fit our growing family and on the last day of the month … BOOM … water breaks and we are on our way to having a baby! This is the last picture of me smiling during labor. I promise 2011 will bring my birth story, I’ve just been so busy … I know, excuses excuses. |
OCTOBER
 |
| Our first family picture – October 2nd – our darling daughter, Jemma’s birthday! I turned 24 too, but Jemma’s birth trumps all for October :) |
NOVEMBER
 |
| Jemma was almost 2 months old in this picture and FAST ASLEEP for our first big family photo with my parents, hubby, sisters, brother-in-law and nephew and DAUGHTER. It was great all being together for Thanksgiving … I still can’t believe I had a healthy little girl, SO THANKFUL! |
DECEMBER
 |
| Oh my Jemma Lou … you were the greatest Christmas present of all time … so excited to spend the next year with you! |
