You ever noticed how the older you get, the faster time seems to pass?
As we crest another year and plunge into a new one, I couldn't help but look back at a year that seemed to pass even faster then the last. As I looked in the rearview, I was stunned by how much happened. It was a year packed with new experiences, tired arguments, rote work, discoveries, costs, prayer and lack thereof, lots of TV, so many stories I started to lose track of what I read, software updates, charity, selfishness, birthday parties (almost every week, how does everyone I know have a birthday?? and why do they all need presents??) but that's just it, it's the people that we remember the most. Our experiences, good or bad, are almost always shared.
So here's what happened:
bought a car (2011 Sonata)
Blake had a drum performance for the ages
Ari had surgery on her tongue
Battleforge
Castle
The Cavs 2010 playoff push
The Decision (ugh)
Skillet
the cabin!
Kalahari with the Jr. High kids
90,000 words
editing
lots of visits with my grandmother (89)

...and everyone in between, they're the ones that made the year.
Yeah it seemed to go by fast, but looking back, so much happened. How'd I get so much crammed into one year? Would I like to go back and do it again? Heck no! 2011 is here, and I'm anxious to see what happens!
