2011 Recap!

So in January, I posted an entry about all the things I was hoping 2011 would bring.  It's officailly over, and I figured I should see if all of my dreams came true or not! 

• A new job or a new career. (Something that makes me happy!) Done - Been at DEMCO for 9 1/2 months now, and I love it.  Great company!  Enjoying my position, and learning more everyday!  There have been some recent changes in my department, I am anxiously looking forward to 2012 and what our new structure will bring!
• Kale being potty trained! (I have had 6 1/2 years of diapers, and I am ready for it to be over!) Done - He is fully potty Trained, and her is even dry through the night.  We are going to start wearing underwear to bed!  YEAH!
• A Superbowl victory for the Packers! (Sorry Steeler's fans!) Done - Super Bowl Champs, and starting the new season 13-1 (soon to be 14-1) for this year!  I would love 2012 to start with a repeat!
• Rylee growing back in her two front teeth. (The girl couldn't eat an apple if her life depended on it.) Well...We are almost there!  They are both in...Just have to move into the correct places!  :)
• I would love to lose about 20 lbs, but who wouldn't! No real progress here, but I didn't really try to lose weight either.  I haven't lost much, but I haven't gained either!
• 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!) No progress here...He still wets almost every night.  Not sure what is going to have to happen to get him to wake up an go?  It's frustrating! 
• 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! Theo is doing great!  He is 8 1/2 months old and besides some pesty ear infections and tubes he is a healthy boy!  Now he just need to start sleeping a little better at night, so Mom and Dad can get some rest!  :)
• 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!) Well, The Royals lost in the first round of the playoffs, but had a good year all in all.  Trent had shoulder surgery at the end of Sept, and is working on rehab.  Not sure what 2012 will bring for baseball...
• I hope I get to spend lots of time with my family and freinds, cause you all mean the world to me! I have gotten to spend lots of time with Family, and got to see my friends a little more this fall, but still would like to get together more often with some of my friends.  Had a great Christmas with family and look forward to a wonderful new year!

Some great things happened in 2011 that I didn't plan on, but really enjoyed.  Easton and Tica had a litter of surprise pups and they are absolutely adorable!  One of them is going to Sally and Mike's house to live( Her name  is still TBD)!  Nick watched Rylee, Cash, and Mikki for the summer and it was wonderful!  The kids loved hanging out with Nick and It was so nice for us to get to see Nick all the time too!  We spend lots of time at the pond, and the ball park during the summer.  Trent won a wonderful vacation through work, and we went out to San Fransico for 4 days in November.  That was a great trip and a nice relaxing time! 

We had some sadness, and some difficult times...but nothing that we couldn't work through!  All in all 2011 was a great year.  I can't wait to see what 2012 has to bring!  Thank you all for being a part of our lives!  Wishing you a Happy New Year!
