I decided rather than a Christmas letter, I'd do a Christmas Blog.
I have much to be grateful for and proud of this year.
I did not get what I wanted for Christmas, but that is not anybody's fault. Hearts desires are not to be granted upon demand. And I had an experience this month I anticipated that would break my heart, but it just left it tender. What I have learned this year is that my life is too full and rich to sit and boo-hoo about what I do not have! Here are my top 10 Riches of 2011!
Richness #1
I got my very own apartment! See the table I bought and put together all by myself?
Richness #2
Made a new record in running a 5K- 26:30.
Could not have done it that fast without my friend by my side.
Richness #3
Built up my "mommy resume". Went to Six Flags and Sea World with Amanda. We rode roller coasters so that one day we will be super cool moms.
Richness #4
Added 4 new temple to my list of temples attended. Travelled to see old college roommates, dear friends, precious family, and create new memories in new places.
