Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. ~Hal Borland

Another great car ride with the little one. We came home today so that we could ring in the new year in the comfort of our home. Olivia has been kinda cranky so I half expected her to cry on the way home but she did quite well! We even stopped to eat and she just looked around and then fell asleep. I let her try a little granule of sugar the other day for the first time and then again today as a treat. She really liked it. (well obviously what kid doesn't love sugar.) She also had a tiny taste of water too. I don't really think she liked it all that much, she spit it back out. Better stick to the boob juice for a while.
Anyways...

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

2010 was sure fantastic!!! Here is just a short look back at what went on this year:
In January Jake and I decided to elope in Las Vegas. The proposal happened in the beginning of February. We moved in together and then Jake and I celebrated my 23rd birthday in Vegas on February 22nd. We got married the following day. That night we found out we were pregnant. In March we had our first ultrasound. (seems like just yesterday) In September we celebrated Jake's 24th birthday on the 20th and I was thrown a wonderful baby shower that month also. On October 25th, we welcomed Olivia into our lives. Since then she has hit milestones. She smiles, giggles, holds her head up, coos and is starting to have a routine. I love her so much!!! In December we celebrated our first holiday season together. Olivia had her first Christmas, and all 3 of us celebrated our first Christmas as a family. Our first year married, with our baby and in our new home together. It was a wonderful Christmas.
This year has been the most amazing year of my life. 2011 is gonna have a hard time matching it that's for sure!
Last year on new years eve, we spent the night stranded on the side of the highway broken down and then we spent the night in a truck stop motel. I remember making a comment saying the worse the new years eve the better the new year. I was kidding, but it has proven to be true!
This new year we are spending the night together at home, eating Chinese food. Pretty low key but there is no where else that I would rather be! I love my family so much!
Happy new year! All the best in 2011!
