2011

Happy New Year! Got home Sunday night from our trip and spent all day yesterday unpacking, cleaning, and putting away the Christmas decor. I'm so sad the holidays are over, but my birthday is in less than a week.  

Another one I struggled with this year is a New Year's resolution.  I always try to do something positive as well as realistically give up something negative.  So, this year I want to take up golf. Cam plays so I think it would be a fun thing to do together and would only be helpful in business settings.  I made my first investment in golf to symbolize it--I bought my first golf outfit.   I'm a firm believer that looking the part is always half the battle to anything in life.  Since I already own the clubs, shoes, and bag, I am only in need of the clothes (and the lessons, of course).  I am quitting cursing. I'm a far cry from a sailor, but I swear during UK basketball season it's so hard not to just give 'em a piece of your mind, haha! What is your resolution this year?

Here are some pictures of us ringing in 2011. We had a FABULOUS time and vacation:

 

   We all bought fun glasses and wore them (I especially loved Cam's beer googles).  My mom asked me if it was a costume party: oh no, we just made it one.

Family shot

 

 Group shot of everyone--we had such a fun group.

 I love this shot merely because we had our own dance floor and that man breaking it down is my step-father-in-law. All around awesome.

 Cam decided that a glass of champagne at midnight was not enough..

Pictures like this is why I love this man.

 

Happy 2011!

Welcome 2010!

Greetings from Marco Island! Cam and I drove down here the day after Christmas and have been relaxing ever since. Poor husband had to go back today, but I am staying and driving home Wed or Thurs depending on the weather. We have had a fabulous time this far and have taken lots of pictures.
We started out our vacation with--what else--the traditional Sunday afternoon trip to Stan's, which was super crowded.

Cam's family hosted a bridal shower for their friends. I contributed chocolate covered strawberries.

New Year's Eve was wonderful. We went down to the country club, which had a huge dinner that was topped off by three (yes, three) full rooms of dessert. I managed to fill a dinner plate of desserts by the first room. They had a great band and we watched fireworks at midnight.

I promise that it is a bad shadow/light effect and not a baby bump.

They served the same champagne Cam and I had at our wedding (Perrier Jouet Fleur De Champagne) so I was very happy. I would have been happier in Cam would have danced to Moondance with me when they played it, but he was too busy eating.

I tried to get a picture of the blue moon between the palm trees (clearly to make everyone jealous), but it was rather difficult in the dark, so here is my feeble attempt.

Festive in our hats.

It is crazy to think it is a new decade and how much will change. I will be done with law school, passed the bar, be employed (hopefully) and maybe be a partner. Cam will have his MBA and hopefully his career is doing well. Most importantly, we would be most lucky to have children and be celebrating 10 1/2 years of a wonderful marriage. Lots of exciting things to look forward to in the next ten years!
