#365 - 2011 Project 365 Recap

This year has been pretty amazing! Not as active as last year it seems, but still pretty good nonetheless. (For 2010 recap you can click HERE.)

I started the Project 365 last January 1st and begin with this POST. It's very interesting to look back over the span of one year and see all of the things that we have done. I'll give a little recap for each month with highlights. So here we go!
January

The girls served me breakfast in bed for my 34th birthday!

I had to have my wisdom teeth pulled and cut out. Fun times!

Brian and I celebrated 17 years of being together!

At the end of January we had a pretty decent snow.

February

We attended the Right to Life Rally in Frankfort at the Captiol Rotunda.

And on our way home from the rally we got to see Brian's Dad in his office for the first time.

We celebrated Mother's Day and went to visit Mama's grave.

The girls' scores came back good from their standardized tests that they took with the co-op. So my job is secure for a little while longer. :)

Brian wanted to set up a trail cam at his Papaw's farm for a project with the girls for school. It was a lot of fun to see the various pictures that would show up on there!

October Brian took the girls to play golf at the Par 3 course and gave them some lessons! Anna gave Papaw his painting of his pond while he was still having rehab at the nursing home. He LOVED it!!! The girls and I had our annual photoshoot!

The girls and I watched the Christmas parade while they sported their new hats.

The girls did a great job in the church's Christmas play this year! Pa and Nana came to watch them!

Christmas morning 2011.We've had a very blessed year and I'm so grateful for the good times and the bad. I'm glad that I participated in this Project 365 and am able to look back at our year in detail. It is very interesting to see how we spent our year. I pray that we've glorified God in how we've lived our lives. My prayer is that we'll glorify Him even more in 2012!!
