In my Husbands words "It was epic"

After re-reading a lot of my posts and reminiscing over photos of this past year; there is one thing that is familiar in all of them. Redundancy is not it either. :) Its not the familiarity in the faces in the pictures, or the self comfort in my posts. This thing is fluid and moves swiftly; other times it is seemingly slow.

2010 is the marking point for the rest of my life. It started my epic journey. For that alone, it was an astonishing year.

I have celebrated close to 34 birthdays with family alone. Yes some of which that celebration was shared in a card, or a call, but celebrated none the less. I have gained an appreciation for organization and how it loves to be stress free. Though, I still have not learned to like doing laundry. I have gained the best four legged creature and stealer of my puppy loving heart. Though I was not there the week she was born, I have been with her every week and day after that. She is the best snuggler and rope tugger around and who couldn't resist those big floppy ears? I know my days wouldn't be quite right without our afterwork howls together. I have learned more about my family in one year than I have known them in all my 23 years. We are a unique bunch of individuals that are after all, are just like one another.I became plural and I married the most patient, kind, forgiving loving man. He is perfect in my eyes. After knowing him for almost 2 years we were married on July 2, 2010. Which was 2 days before our 2 year anniversary, Yes we got to watch fireworks in Maui. Watching as they reflected over a mirror like ocean. It was bliss. We sold my toothpaste car for our more permanent Mazda. That Mazda, she has some spice to her, let me just say. I found a companion in my quest. We let our Dear and Sweet Great Grandma Root go home. She is now perfect in every way, stunning and as I say jealously walking through the perfection of Heaven. We welcomed my sister's handsome little man into this world. We have a home, a welcoming home, a praising home, a home outside of ours. We have a gaining hunger and thirst for our salvation. We hold hand in hand in an effort to strengthen our Faith.
With our year in mind we held hands as we counted down the most epic start to our lives.

I have never experienced so much rapid and slow change in my life. Like I said looking back through all my posts and photos; that is what I have been looking for. The comical part about seeking change, is the more you look at your feet to make sure your walking straight, the more you get lost. If you just look up; you would be shocked by all the avenues of change you can go down. My change caught me by surprise and snuck right in. I wasn't aware of if literally until the last day of 2010...Ironic. I am proud to say the goals I set for myself in 2010 didn't get accomplished, but my journey found the right path. I sprouted roots and grounded myself and had no Idea. I am sprouting and growing a whole new leaf of life.

I know who I want to be and I'm standing for it. Here is to a year bursting with greatness, Faith and Blessings!

Until Next Time,
Peace & Love
