2010 was a pretty big year for Lowell and me!February: we got possession of our new house... and then continued to pour hours and hours of love and attention ( plus 70 zillion gallons of paint) into it...
March: BABIES!!Lowell's sister, Lori, had TWINS Evelyn and Lynelle...
Aaaand the first G grandchild was born: Tyrn James the Great!
May: puppy Kumeu became part of our little family (and we proceeded to take several thousand pictures of him)...
June: We said good-bye to our long time G family vehicle... 'the van'
July: Lowell completed his masters of counseling psychology (!!!!) AND we completed our insane basement renovation!
August: FAMILY PHOTOS... with BOTH families!The Gs...
The Ts...
Also, we made all sorts of delicious goodies out of our very own cherries. I see many more cherry treats in our future.
September: Lowell declared legally blind status... I'd say that was pretty pivotal. We also went to Vancouver to resume his eye treatments (which turned out to be pretty darn encouraging!)October: Hack job...
November: Movember. Yech.
December: AMAZING Hawaii vacay with the G fam...
Also December: Throughout the whole year we have reconnected with old friends, made new friends, and generally have felt SO BLESSED by all the amazing friendships we have. One friend in particular- Duane- demonstrated his amazing selflessness and love by living like Lowell for two weeks to raise money for Lowell's extremely pricey eye treatments. More on this to come another day...
One last thing for December: LOWELL GOT A JOB!! He didn't START in 2010, but on Christmas Eve he was hired as a University counselor. Merry Christmas to US!He may be a career man now, but let's not kid ourselves... he's still our goofy lovable Lowell!
Here's to an adventurous, eventful, and AMAZING 2011. It's gonna be a gooder... I can feel it in my BONES!
