My 2011

Hey y'all! With 2012 quickly approaching and 2011 being over soon I've been reliving some of the memories and pictures and wanted to share a few.

First...just a few BIG moments and extra special memories from this year:

-Thaddeus proposed and we began planning our April wedding

-Traveled to Ecuador for a mission trip with our church. 

We lived in the jungle in straw huts & bathed in the river for a week 

and shared the love of Jesus with the people there. 

It was an amazing experience and I can't wait to go back! :)

-Graduated from Dental Assisting school

-Met Casting Crowns and attended their concert! 

VERY exciting for Thaddeus & I because they're our favorite worship band! 

-Thaddeus started leading worship 

& officially became the worship pastor on staff

-My last Christmas 'at home'. 

This may not be a big deal to most people, 

but knowing that next year I won't be waking up with Jordan 

at 5am & spending Christmas morning with my family is kinda scary. 

Can't wait for Thaddeus and I to start our own Christmas traditions though

-----------------------------

And now for the pictures...it's quite a load.
