Our Year...In Numbers

As we approach 2011, I am reminded how wonderfully full my life is, and how thankful I am to be alive, and surrounded by cool people who challenge and love me.  I am also more aware at this time of year, as we count down to the new start, how life is really just a series of numbers.  Countdowns and dates, times and events.  Some things, like memories, glasses of champagne, cupcakes, origami cranes and laughs are innumerable.  But some things you can count.  Here is a quick recap of our year, in numbers. 


10: Number of years it has been since I graduated from high school.  Yeesh.  A decade already? (I attended my high school reunion in October)

Mira, Me, Birdy, Kris and Emily at our 10 year reunion!

9:  Number of miles Taiko got up to during my marathon training!  What a champ!  Also, the number of games the 49ers (Mike's team) have lost this season.

8: Number of tricks Taiko now knows.

Taiko's latest trick - "the bear".

7: Month of our wedding and the number of Christmas' Mike and I have spent together.

The name of this fan has been hidden to protect the blindly faithful.

4: Number of Taiko mishaps we have had (down from last year), also the number of celebrations we have had at our house.

3: Number of tacky t-shirts Mike got for his bachelor party...

Not only t-shirts...check out the necklace...

2:  Number of camping expeditions we went on, and the number of Canopy Tours we have done (our new hobby!)

1: Number of marathons I have done (and will ever do...) also the number of courses Mike has taken toward his Masters in Tax (he got an A!!)

Happy New Year everyone, and may you all have a blessed and full year, of surprises, fun, and friendship.
