Year in Review | 2010

As I started to prepare and think over this past year- I almost became overwhelmed with (fun) memories.  Choosing just one thing from each month was such a challenge- so here I am with one heck of a long post to share.  (Soowwwweeyy)

January 2010

VEGAS, baby!  This picture is probably my favorite picture from the entire year.  A New Year's Kiss at midnight.

Spending our winter vaca with the Wingfield's was a blasty blast- Hello from the Vegas Strip!

 February

Record breaking snowfall in Dallas. 

Made for silly times in the snow with my fellow Presby peeps.

March

My first contest winning-magazine-worthy recipe!  My Cinnamon-Toffee Croissant Bread Pudding debuted in Country Woman Magazine.

I was sneaky and planned a surprise birthday party with all of Jordan's closest of our firefighter family for his 28th birthday.  It snowed on this night, too!

April

I met one of my role models, Giada DeLaurentiis (for a second time!) at a book signing in Dallas.  Love her.

 Jenna tied the knot with the love of her life in a beautiful Stockyard celebration

May

Partrick Austin graduated High School!

Love my brothers

 Ashley and Jarrett got engaged, too!!

 June

The end of my long traveled journey to RD-hood

July

We took (another) mini vaca to a sweet B&B with the Wingfield's to the Hill Country- Llano, Texas to be exact. 

Our adventures on this trip make for fun memories- I still chuckle to look at this picture.

July also marked our first, and definitly NOT the last, date with a Crooner.

Mr. Buble-I heart you, handsome.

August

Succeeded my dream- RD status comes to life!

Patrick made his move to Dallas- and we now have one less guest room.

Celebrated 5 years if marriage

September 

Mexico fun with the Collins'. Such a beautiful memory

We were honored to stand with some of our best friend's, Hailey and Justin, as they got married!

October

The Texas Rangers made the World Series Playoffs..and we got to attend (a winning) Game #2.

I also had a rather fantabulous job fall in my lap.  Still loving everyday.

 November

Happy Thanksgiving!

December

Christmas Card pictures are always such a fun part of getting ready for the holidays.

My favorite one landed the winning spot on the card :)

Patrick spent Christmas Eve/morning with us- loved having him with us this year!

A Celebration of the New 2011 Year

Ashley and Jarrett so graciously hosted us for a delicious and low key evening.

The Ladies

The Gents'

Happy New Year!!!

Ending with the way I started this year is just fine with me- with my sweet love..in his arms. Wishing you a wonderful start to this New Year.  I surely can't wait to see what 2011 holds for us!
