2010 Recap {Part 3: Sept-Dec}

September was hard.  We found out that true friends are harder to find than we thought.  But, we picked ourselves up, and I posted my first {and only as of yet} tutorial!  {Expect more in 2011!} 

In October, I made my yearly pilgrimage to the pumpkin patch with my mom and the girls.  I also tried to keep it real, we sold my car, celebrated Jon's birthday, and I dressed up as Waldo.

In November, I launched my Reviews and Giveaways section.  It has been so much fun sharing these great products with you all, and I expect this aspect of the blog to continue to grow in 2011!  We also experienced our first 3D movie on our super fun 3D date night. 

December was crazy!  Our Etsy store sales picked up dramatically for the holidays and we enjoyed fulfilling orders!  We had a leaning tower of pig boxes and everything!
Our holidays were fantastic, {i still need to share my wrapping with you!}  And, we even got in our first video before the end of the year!

2010 has been great, and we have such exciting things planned for 2011!  I can't wait to see what I'll be recapping come this time next year!  Thanks so much for coming along for the ride!  Happy New Year's Eve!  See you next year!  ;)

2010 Recap {Part 2: May-August}...

May was a month of self discovery.  I had some really deep posts that month!  One about my legacy and the big one about loving myself.  I'm happy to say that I see that experience as a turning point for me.  I'm still far from perfect, but something is definitely different now.  I honestly know it's because I finally let go of the burden I was carrying.  I literally asked God to take it from me, and felt him do so.  I physically felt something heal within me and it's still whole today.

June proved a difficult month as well.  I couldn't quite get into the swing of blogging again.  It was a little on again off again.  It also marked the loss of a dear friend of ours.  Herb, we'll never forget you. 

July, oh July brought with it my 30th birthday!  Still have a hard time wrapping my brain around that.  But, that meant I finally got my bicycle!  Hooray!  Cannot wait til spring when it can come down from it's hook in the garage!

 This is also when I discovered Pinterest, which has opened up a whole new world of photo organizing to me.  So inspiring!



In August, I ran out of gas, posted my first pretty bicycle photo with random thoughts from the week {see others here}, spent a wonderful day antiquing with my mom, and started a facebook fan page.
