See Ya Later, 2010!

I don't think I can bring myself to do one of those month-by-month fancy schmancy year in review posts that I keep seeing on blogs because well, January 2010 was a long ass time ago and I can't be expected to remember back that far. Especially since I was pregnant for the better part of the year. What I can do is highlight a few things...

The Good

• Getting pregnant and then subsequently having the baby. (A bouncing 11 lb + baby boy arrived almost 2 weeks ago.) And being 2 lbs. away from pre-pregnancy weight with only like 4 more weeks to go before I can workout again.

• My oldest son starting kindergarten. Although we hesitated to enroll him in traditional, public school, we are overall happy that we did. He has had a really positive experience and has blossomed socially, the thing we were most worried about. He and I have both made some great new friends and are enjoying it quite a bit.

• Watching the relationship between my two boys blossom. Well, it has only been two weeks but my older son adores his baby brother. After being an only child for 5.5 years, we were a little concerned about it rocking his world. He's taken his new role on like a champ and I just love watching him.

• Having the best husband in the world. This is true every year but he is never to be left out. He's my best friend and the best thing that ever happened to me, besides my sons, of course. I can't even imagine life without him.

• Cooking club. I know this sounds weird but me and three close girlfriends formed a cooking club earlier this year and it's been fun. Not so much for the cooking aspect as much as the company and the bonding. It is truly a treasure to have these types of friendships.

• Family trip to Hawaii this summer. We don't take many vacations for the sake of vacation so this was a big deal for us. Most of our travel is for business and while we do make time for fun, it's still not totally for vacation's sake. We had a great time on our vacation and created many family memories that we will always remember...and those are important.

• Piggy. Yes, we got a guinea pig and we love him.

• Good health for family and friends. For the most part.

The Bad

• Being a bit out of it due to an eventful pregnancy. Not seeing friends much, having a hard time keeping up with life and hobbies for the past year or so.

• Not being able to go on as many date nights with Hubby as I would have liked. Hopefully that changes this year...

The Ugly

• Puking for 39 weeks.

• Starting an awesome personal training and workout regimen only to end up puking for 39 weeks and pretty much having an end put to that awesomeness.

Overall, the good outweighs the bad so 2010 wasn't horrible. And it brought me the sweetest little bundle of joy ever. I am hoping 2011 brings more awesome. Hope yours does too.
