2010 in pictures

Just a highlight or 2 from each month.

January - My year started out in boxes. I moved from Austin to Houston for a new job.

February - February was so crazy adjusting to new job/new place to live/etc that I can't find any pictures...

March - I took a long weekend to visit my friend, Krystal, in California. She was working on her Masters at Pepperdine University in Malibu and living in Santa Monica. It was so fun!
April -
April was TAKS-crazy.

May -
I finished my spring semester working with some awesome kids to help them with TAKS.

June -
Celebrating Krystal's birthday in Houston with some bingo and fun girls at Sawyer Park in Houston.
July - I finally had a free summer to go to South Padre Island for the annual family trip. (I had to miss a few years for work) Andie loved going on the boat in her life jacket!

August -
I decorated my first classroom, met 120 sixth graders and began my first year of teaching and coaching!
*I also found out I was going to be an AUNT in August!! (there's no picture of that.)

September - I spent most of August, September and October like this... coaching my 8th grade volleyball team.
October - Claudia and Daniel got married!
We also pulled off a huge surprise retirement party for my dad! After 37 years in the Houston Fire Department, he deserved a night to reunite with his old friends and all the family that came.
AND, I got a new car!!
whew.... October was BUSY!

November - My parents and I drove to Austin to meet my sister and brother-in-law for a day they were in town. I loved spending time at The Oasis and walking around campus.

My dad's parents, my uncle and brothers all came into town for Thanksgiving.

December 2010 - I survived my first semester of teaching!

My family went on a Christmas cruise to celebrate my dad's retirement. We went to Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Belize and Roatan.

And I finished off the year with some amazing girls for my first New Years Eve out in Houston.
