Year in Review

I can't believe that the year is almost done. It has been a year with a lot of laughter and tears and great memories! I thought it would be fun to go through my pictures of see what I can find and do a "Year in Review"

January bought a wedding for great friends, Andy and Stacey. They soon will celebrate their 1st Anniversary!

February bought us the annual Christmas party. Jeremy and I dressed up in 80's gear....

We now skip to the summer where we spent a lot at the softball fields.

We also got take a long weekend to LaCrosse. It is very pretty on the river.

In October, we had to lots of tears when my mom was diagnosed with Lymphoma. It was a very scary time for us and I am so grateful for the wonderful family and friends that I have to give me encouragement through this time. I am happy to report that Mom is doing GREAT and hopefully will be done with chemo soon. This picture is of Mom and Jacob at his Confirmation.

In October we also had a joyous time. Aimee and Jim got married!!!!! :) It was a beautiful day and wedding and Bride and Groom. Congrats!!

Jacob took our Christmas photos in my parent's backyard. Love the back-drop and love my husband!!!

Have a wonderful New Year's Eve and be safe!!!!!! Can't wait to see what happens in 2010!!!!

Ticker

So...you see that ticker on the top...right up there....yep.. that is my goal for the new year...I am starting a little early but seeing that every day is going to be a great reminder for me. At work we are doing the Biggest Loser.....My goal for the new year is to be healthlier and happier. I think taking off some weight would do it for me!!! I watched the niggest loser finale last night and those people looked AMAZING!!!!!


So that is what is new with me! Nothing much!! Have a great week!!

Halloween

So, we do not leave in the boonies, nor are we in town. I thought for sure that we would have some Trick or Treaters last night. I was ready with candy--a whole big bag of Sn.ick.ers.


I waited and waited and w.a.i.t.e.d.......for all those cute adorable kids in costumes to come to the door.....................

AIMEE AND JIM'S WEDDING

I had an awesome week last week starting on Wednesday night. I met up with Aimee in Hudson to start all the wedding goodness!She and Jim were getting married on Saturday, Oct. 17 in Blue Earth. Aimee is my best friend. We met in college and lived together for 1 1/2 years. Those years were the best. She taught me so many things. We have pretty much been friends through everything friends could go through......good things and {unfortunatly}bad things. I was so proud to stand next to her when she took her vows and became a wife. I know Aimee and Jim will be so happy together and have much laughter in their lives.

Best wishes to you both!!!

{P.S.--this is a picture overload post}

Hello, Friend!!!!!

Friday Night Rehearsal:

Kristine(how freakin' cute is she) and Jeff

Rehearsal: Jim and Aimee

2B Sheridan Girls

I need to explain this picture:

While we were decorating Aimee and Loree were in the lobby. Aimee had the fake flowers

and she was pretending to stab Loree. Loree didn't know Aimee was behind her with

the flowers. She turned {do you see where this is going??} and Aimee was right there

with the flowers and got Loree right in the eye. Loree went down and covered her

eye. Aimee ran to get a cold washcloth. Thank God for Loree's glasses that prevented a

bigger injury. She had a cut on her eyelid, but it could have been a lot worse.
So this is the re-enactment of the "stabbing"

After rehearsal, Aimee got a room for Jen, me, and herself. Jen had a few
minutes of homework to do but then it was

"Girl Time"
