Hip HOP.

Yep. It is me.

Hip Hopping! Be sure to start over at the Unity blog so you don't miss anything!

Can you believe it?

WOWZERS!

This is the LAST hop of 2010.

And WHAT a YEAR it has been.

I was putting together my annual layout (it is a 2 pager this year!) and thinking about how lucky I am.

Seriously.

I am one fortunate chica!

Pure LUCKY really....I don't deserve this life over anyone else.

And the worst part is that SOMETIMES I forget how lucky I am.

I get overwhelmed and stressed and shut out those wonderful things and thoughts some days. Most days I just sit back and enjoy it though! :)

My year consisted of tons of visits and adventures with family and friends.

INCLUDING...

teaching at CKC in Portland, OR {with some help from FAB Teri!}

going to Winter CHA in Anaheim, CA {yep. I DO remember the fountain}

visiting Unity in New London, MN {my second home?}

attending the editorial board meeting at Paper Crafts in UTAH {lots of laughs here}

doing the annual Memorial Day & 4th of July Camping trips {dirt. hikes. drinks. friends.}

visiting Loftus Hot Springs, ID for my cousin's wedding {so lovely}

attending a Seattle Sounders and Seahawks game {i luv my mom}

had a GIRLY Weekend in Seattle {who knew that basil worked in a cocktail?}

travelling to Summer CHA in Chicago {got to see my aunt and cousin for the first time in over 10 years AND play in the rain!}

going to Tom Petty and Lilith Fair with my sister {GREAT TIMES!}

learning to SKYPE {keeping connected with those I love}

visiting family in New York {including my dad & gram- whom I haven't seen in FIVE years}

going back to teaching middle school science FULL-time after a 6 year absence {AND LOVING IT!}

attending ScrapFest in the Mall of America with some AMAZING friends {with a quick trip back to Spicer--it is NEVER too cold to make a late-nite jump in a lake, right?}

lots of coffee and nights out with a TRUE friend {although NEVER enough-->btw-you are NEVER too old to climb a tree} :)

Yes.

It has been a YEAR!

I can't wait to see what 2011 will bring. :)
