Two Thousand and Ten

2010, in summation:

• GOT MARRIED!
  
• Turned 21
• Got my first passport
• Changed my name
• Took more pictures than I have ever taken in my life
  
• Took my first trip out of the country and spent a wonderful week in Costa Rica
• Became a proud dog parent
• Made new friends
• Graduated with high honors from Texas A&M
• Survived a whole semester of kindergartners
  
• Survived another whole semester of third graders
• Applied for my first teaching position
• Fell in love with Big Bang Theory and Antiques Roadshow
  
• Obsessively read the Hunger Games trilogy about 8 times
• Made Phillip, my uncle, AND everyone else I know read the Hunger Games
  
• Rented our first apartment and decorated it on a budget
  
• Broke out my sewing machine
• Honed my cooking skills
• Forayed into baking, semi-successfully
• Obtained our first handgun
• Got our first Blu-Ray disk
• Hit 200,00 miles on my car (though I had to get new tires to do it).
• Successfully fit into my wedding dress, my mother's wedding dress, my grandmother's wedding dress, and my aunt's going away dress.

In 2011, hopefully, we will:

• Watch Phillip graduate and get into grad school, maybe even somewhere really cool
• Get my first teaching job
• Rent our first house
• Get a new computer
• Be better about blogging, calling friends, making home-cooked meals, and doing laundry.
