Bumps and Bruises!

This week has been a interesting week.  One of the players on our basketball team got into a car accident this week.  Thank god she is okay, but it was a pretty serious accident.  It really makes you stop and think.  She spun on ice went into the ditch and hit a stump.  After she regained conciousness she called 911 and then her Dad.  The car was damaged enough that they had to use the jaws of life to get her out.  She ended up with a concusion, a broken collar bone, a very serious let hand injury that require immediate surgery, and lots of bruises.  She is out for the rest of the season.  When I got the news of the accident my heart jump a beat and I got that horrible feeling in my stomach.  Like I said, we are all very happy that she is okay.  She will have to under go lots of rehab on her hand, but her spirits are great.  Last night she sat on our bench and cheered her team on as they played thier first game with out her (a Sophomore starter on Varsity).  I really just makes you realise how precious life is, and also how great the human spirit is.  She might not be able to play the rest of this season, but she is still a part of our team, and will contribute anyway she can!  We are very happy that someone was watching out for her this week! 

What will 2011 bring?

So, I know that I have been slacking in the Blog department.  I am not really sure why.  I guess mostly cause I don't feel I have as much to talk about as I did when I was employed.  Seems strange, cause I never really blogged about work anyway, but in some regards I guess it made the time that I spent with my family seem different. Between that and being on the computer job hunting all the time, I don't always feel like sitting down and typing out my thoughts.  That and my thoughts are all over the place.  2010 was a very interesting year for us!  Personally it was a great year...A year that brought some really great things.  Professionally, it was a year like one I have never faced before.  So, What is 2011 going to bring for me?

I am hoping that it brings a couple things for sure...These are listed in no particular order:

• A new job or a new career. (Something that makes me happy!)
• Kale being potty trained! (I have had 6 1/2 years of diapers, and I am ready for it to be over!)
• A Superbowl victory for the Packers! (Sorry Steeler's fans!)
• Rylee growing back in her two front teeth. (The girl couldn't eat an apple if her life depended on it.)
• I would love to lose about 20 lbs, but who wouldn't!
• Eli to not pee at night.  I am afraid he is going to have to wear pull-ups to college! (He is a sound sleeper, but come on!)
• I can't wait to meet my new nephew in April...I hope makes things nice on his Mom and enters the world quickly and healthily!
• I hope Trent has a great baseball season, and his team makes it to the final four.  (Two reasons: 1.) I know that he really wants to play in the championship game, and it would be a great accomplishment for him and his team, and 2.) Then he could retire!  Ha ha!)
• I hope I get to spend lots of time with my family and freinds, cause you all mean the world to me!

Well...Here is my first entry for 2011!  Let's hope in  year when I am looking back on this post I smile and say it was a wonderful year!
