2011 was a big year for Ryan and I. And here’s where I tie it up in a nice little bow for you (and me).
We finished a huge number of projects on our new home this year, including –
- Tiling the bathroom and finishing it.
- Refinishing hardwood floors.
- Cleaning and painting the basement.
- Installing new kitchen cabinetry.
- Completing tile and wood countertops.
- Finishing all the house’s trim work and tons of painting.
- Installing board and batten in the stairway and living room ceiling.
- Updating the new stairway.
- Building an entryway built-in.
- Painting aluminum siding.
- Completing windows.
- And pretty much everything else.
We sold our first home and moved into our second home.
We had the opportunity to spend time in Montreal, Arizona, and took a fabulous Northwest road trip through Washington, Oregon and California.
We welcomed our first niece, Addison.
I finished my MBA, which means I tell Ryan that I now know everything there is to know. (Modesty is not my best quality.)
I did a lot of sewing – including six baby quilts, four casserole carriers, three pairs of mittens, two pairs of curtain panels for the dining room and a skirt.
We celebrated ten years of being a couple and four years married.
I’d say that was a pretty fabulous year.
How was your 2011?
Kim, I’m tired just reading that list! So envious that you two are so ambitious!
Continued blessings in 2012!
You never told us you finished the mba! So proud of you. What a busy and awesome year you had. That prom photo is great.
i know i say this every time, but i’m always amazed by your ability to juggle so much and still complete so many projects! i love seeing everything you all do and can’t wait to see more in 2012!!
I wish I could get half as much done as you guys! You have so much to be proud of from 2011 and so much I know you’ll accomplish in 2012!
Just wanted to let you know how much I like your blog. I get excited when I see you’ve posted a new one.
You make me prouder EVERY SINGLE YEAR! I ♥ you SOOOOOOO much!
Congrats on all of the house progress and having been together 10 years! Oh and the MBA! Wow I guess it was a big year for you two. Hope 2012 is just as good.
