Lookin' back now...

Two Thousand Eleven

It was a year of firsts and a year of changes! Here we go at a brief-ish (?) glimpse:

• I finished out my first year of teaching (1st grade) out in the small town of Kinston, North Carolina

• Bradford graduated from NC State AND was commissioned into the Air Force as a 2Lt the weekend of May 14th.

• Brad and I got MARRIED (!!!) on May 21, 2011

• We traveled... a lot.
• Enjoyed our honeymoon in the Bahamas!

• Greenville became a memory as we moved all of our belongings up to Boone to live with Brad's Grandmother.

• Went with our Church to Port Henry, NY on a mission trip. (met some super people!)

• Brad met my Dad's side of the family in Ohio at the Martin Family Reunion in August.

• Oscar came to live with us.

• The Air Force moved Brad's dates from October to April then back to March.
• A friend of mine and I went to Autumn at Oz out at Beech Mountain! (a first for me)
• Brad left Boone for 2 months to go work on Hurricane clean up out at the coast. (So we had many a Skype dates!)

• I got a job substituting in Watauga (not steady, but it was better than my many failed attempts at finding a place of work).
• I got a J-O-B tutoring K-5 students at a small school in Watauga.
• My niece turned 2 years old.

• My sister is having another baby! (this time a boy, due in May!)
• A wonderful trip to our nation's capitol.

• Sarah got ENGAGED!

• Celebrating our first birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Years as a MARRIED COUPLE!
• McKenna called Brad "Uncle Brad" for the first time when she needed help putting her swing together. Brad was very excited!

Was everyone else's year as eventful?! :)
