A Year of Change

Wow, as we wrap up another year, I always find myself thinking..."where were we last year, how were we feeling and how has another year changed our life?" Our life at the end of 2011 couldn't be more different than it was when the year began.

We rung in 2011 with some of our great friends and had an amazing evening full of delicious food. We were hoping that our family would be expanding and Nate and I were both busy working and living in Minnesota.

After a wonderful trip to Ireland with my mom, dad and brother we found out the thing we had been hoping for most had finally happened....we were expecting!! It was the best way to kick off a new year.

As the first trimester came to a close, we went on a great vacation with my mom and dad, our friends; Chris and Eric and Jessie and Chad to Jamaica.

The rest of the year really was spent getting ready for our new addition. Once Nina arrived, we found out Nate was offered a job closer to our hometown, in Madison. He accepted and this lead to a big move back home.

As we welcome 2012, we have a beautiful daughter we couldn't adore more, we are living back in Wisconsin, Nate is settling into his new job and I am at home with Nina.

Tonight, as we celebrate the end of the year as a family we feel one thing: totally content! There isn't one more thing we could have asked for in 2011. We hope that all of our friends and family feel the same way tonight, and that 2012 brings many good things for all of us.

Bring it on 2012!!
