A New Year

Since it's been a while since my last post I figured I would wrap up 2011 with some major points and hopefully be better about posting in 2012. As we look back on 2011, we have had heartache, surprises, and happiness. Our BIGGEST surprise of 2011 is finding out that we were pregnant with baby #2 but feel completely blessed!!!

- In October, Travis unfortunately lost his grandfather. It was rather quick and very hard on Travis. He looked up to Pappo as so much more than just a grandfather and had the utmost respect for him as did I. He had a kind heart and loved his family.

- In November, my sister, aunt, and grandpa threw a surprise 30th anniversary party for my parents. Boy, were they surprised! The looks on their faces were priceless and it made every bit of planning worth it. They were so deserving of this party.

- We traveled down to the Hill Country in November to celebrate Thanksgiving with Travis' family.

- Travis and I did "ICE" at the Gaylord with my parents and then traveled to Tampa for the weekend for his company Christmas party. It was a nice little getaway for us but we couldn't wait to see Will!

- Took Will on The Polar Express in Grapevine, Texas. Will loves trains!

- Broke the news to my principal and assistant principal that I will not be returning after this year. Such a hard thing to do because I love where I work but moving to La. is the best thing for our family and for Travis and I. We are looking forward to this new adventure!

- Traveled down to Louisiana for Christmas to be with my family.

- Drove home on New Year's Eve and waited for 2012 to come...
