Some of the highlights for me:
- The previously mentioned weight loss.
- Plus the even greater weight of depression lifted. It feels good to be happy.
- Spencer started teaching (as a grad student) at OSU.
- We got rid of the last of our baby stuff.
- The kids started at a new school this year. It's an improvement from the last school on so many levels.
- All three boys are in school.
- I made new friends.
- I surprised myself with how much I loved girls camp as an adult (I hated it as a youth).
- I re-claimed my love for motherhood.
- Spence and I both had a brother get married. We happily welcomed two great sister-in-laws and enjoyed the time visiting family.
- I fell in love with Chicago while Spencer was there speaking at a conference. I hope we can find an excuse to live there one day.
- And all of the little things along the way made for a great 2011...so I'll include way too many pictures that I failed to post while I was too busy living the good life to update my blog.
