Well is been a whole year and time flies that’s for sure!\u00a0 My first full calendar year in business was a success!\u00a0 Thanks to all my clients, blog readers and facebook<\/a> friends:)\u00a0 You are the best and I couldn’t have done it with out you.\u00a0 I have learned so much this year about myself and my business.\u00a0 I am writing down goals for 2011 and there will be lots in store for the coming year for my business.\u00a0 Starting with a workshop<\/a> I’m attending in just 2 short weeks in Phoenix!\u00a0 Yay- so excited for that.\u00a0 I’m not going to lie looking forward to warmer weather too!\u00a0 I also want to change up a few things here on the blog so stay tuned.<\/p>\n

We had a lot of things happen this year in our family- Chris and I bought a house & rented out our condo,\u00a0 survived without electric for 4 days and bailed out our sump pump 2 weeks after we moved in so all of our belongings in the basement didn’t get flooded out,\u00a0 Joyce recovered from her surgery and 2nd bout of Cancer,\u00a0 Chris switched careers and became a Realtor, my mom was diagnosed with Cancer along with 3 other people close to us, Marissa graduated from Culinary School<\/a>, Marissa and Mike planned their upcoming February wedding, Patrick and Kelli got engaged, Kelli got her Masters and a well deserved promotion(yay!), Madison grew 8 inches it seems:) (she is 10 and is as tall as me almost!), we hosted the first Thanksgiving in our new home, welcomed all of our friends new babies(7 total!) and met many new people whom we now call friends.\u00a0\u00a0 Whew that’s a lot.<\/p>\n
