2011 was a great year for our family, but more than anything, it was the year without any major changes!! It felt good. (OK, Jason was promoted to VP and I was promoted to Manager, but I am not counting those as major changes since we stayed in the same jobs, just added responsibility)
I look back at our lives since we got engaged. Basically, Jason put the ring on my finger and we took off running:
*2005 - Engaged, graduated, moved to Kansas City, started a new job (also the year Jason and I got back together after a 1 year hiatus)
*2006 - Jason moved to Kansas City / started a new job, married, bought a house
*2007 - Sold our first house, moved to Cincinnati, adopted two doggies, Jason started a new job
*2008 - Sold our second house, moved back to Wisconsin, started new jobs
*2009 - Pregnant!! Bought our third house.
*2010 - Brody! A fun, but exhausting year...
*2011 - Time to breathe....
2011 really was the year of travel. I love vacations, big or small. I don't like to sit still, so getting out of town every chance we got, was really fun. We had big vacations (NYC & Punta Cana) and we had a ton of smaller vacations (Michigan, Indiana, Kansas, couple of Wisconsin getaways).
Without the big changes, 2011 was really a great year. It had it's ups and downs, but we really had fun and grew as a family this year. Taking Brody on a plane for the first time was probably the highlight of the year as well as an entire week with my husband and friends without children. While I love Brody to death, it's refreshing to spend a little time on ourselves.
I look forward to 2012 and everything that it will bring, hoping for an equally low-stress year.
But look at how far we've come...
