Bye Bye 2010

2010 was an amazing year for us.  The biggest change in our lives in 2010 was me quitting my job to become a full time mom!   It has been a very amazing transformation in our lives but it has not come with out struggles.  May 1 was the first day of my staying at home, and every day since has been a challenge in us learning to live on one income.  I did contribute a good bit to the family while working, but never as much as Clynt did.  We have always had more money than we needed to blow, and now, though we arent broke, we definitely have to watch what we spend MUCH more than we did before.  So much of 2010 has been spend budgeting!

In 2010, Clynt and I also became DEBT FREE!!!  How amazing is that.  The only debt that we have now is our house. Our cars are paid for (and in fact we actually paid for Clynt's F-250 using CASH).  This was hard but man was it so so worth it!!

In 2010, Corbin has just turned 2.  He is no longer a baby.  He is talking, using the potty (sometimes), eating all on his own, climbing, running, and being a complete boy!  It has been so amazing to sit and watch him grow and getting to be at home to watch him every minute of every day has been so incredible and I would never trade of any of my struggles for it!

In 2010, we found out we are going to have a new little boy in our arms next year!!  How amazing is that?!  TWO boys!!?  We are so excited, it is unbelievable.

In 2010, we have grown closer and closer to Christ.  We are staying involved and connected with church and we are still leading a CARE group.  We can only pray that 2011 will continue to bring us closer.

In 2010....... we started cloth diapering (whew, that's been fun!); we bought a new truck; we travelled and spent more and more time with family; we went to New York City, Alabama, Connecticut, Louisiana, and several cities in Texas;  I broke my wrist and had to have surgery to repair it; we gained several new friends; and we laughed a lot!  It was a great year with lots of memories!

Tonight we are spending New Years with a mommy friend of mine and her family, and some other families for a family friendly New Year's Eve party.  It is very hard to find things to do for New Years or really any holiday that is kiddo friendly, and Clynt and I are against leaving Corbin on holidays because we want to spend it with him and we want to know he is safe! =)

Hope you all had a wonderful year, and that 2011 brings you many joys!!
