Happy 2011!!

Happy New Year to everyone!!

WOW, 2010 was great to us. We are so thankful for all our dear friends and family who helped make 2010 the most special year of our lives.

While 2010 was amazing in so many different ways, it gave us a few challenges to overcome and kept us VERY BUSY in the meantime. Both mine and Trae's new jobs are a complete blessing- we love our jobs and the companies we work for but WHEW! we are busy!!!
Trae now works for Morgan Stanley and I work in for Warner Chilcott, a Pharmaceutical company that specializes in womens health. Our work hours are long, but we are learning a lot and enjoying our careers.

In addition to the new gig, I decided in October to train for my first 1/2 Marathon. I have never liked running... in fact, I've hated running and have avoided running more than 3 miles at a time for several years. Several fit friends talked me into trying it and after a motivated moment and an $80 entry free later.... I'm signed up. I'm currently up to 8 miles and on a 6 day hiatus with a strained hamstring. Let's pray I can stay on my strict ice/stretch routine to get this thing back in working order! Jan. 30th is the 3M 1/2 Marathon. Prayers appreciated.

As busy as we seem to be, we are sure to plan out special moments for each other. Since next Thanksgiving's UT game is in College Station, Trae decided it would be a good time for us to take a trip together. I've never been over seas and we both agree we need to get some exploring under our belt before we are toting any babies with us. While we are still researching, Spain and Portugal are main contenders and I'm already VERY excited.

As Trae and I approach our 6 month anniversary, we feel very blessed. We have been asked to be a part of 3 of our dear friends weddings in 2011 taking us to Florida, South Padre and Jamaica. We wish you all a blessed 2011... we promise more blogging updates from us on all our world travels!
