Murphy (aka Smurphy, Smurph, Murph, Boogie Man, Little Boy, Ding Ding Do Do Head, Ding Ding, Baby Ding Ding, Smurphy Smurph and the Smurphs) got a little bigger, and got a little older.
Patrick's hair got longer, got shorter, and is now creeping its way to his shoulders again.
We pulled off yet another surprise party. We successfully spent almost every summer weekend at Leech Lake. We painted the deck. Patrick finally finished our bathroom. We bought a big screen tv. We finally got a new vehicle. We spent a lot of time with family. I got a new job. We celebrated our one year anniversary by eating Chinese food and watching movies all day. I have became heavily addicted to coffee., while Patrick has stayed tried and true to his beloved Diet Coke.
I learned what its like to have a real friend. The kind that will grab your hand and go over the edge of a cliff with you. The type of friend who absolutely loves you even with all your faults, and flaws and weird little quirks, if fact, they love your more because they can see right through them.
I learned that when all else fails, you will always have your family. They are there to tell you to get back up and keep going, and to share in all your joys and sadness. They are the dependent variable in your science experiment other wise known as life. From my immediate to my extended, from the boring ones to the "crazy" ones...I live and die for them.
My family... "we are thick as thieves."
Do we have plans for 2011, sure who doesn't? But they are pretty simple. We want to tile our kitchen, maybe redo our basement. Put in some landscaping. Maybe get a new puppy? (that's me anyway....yes I am a crazy dog lady and am not ashamed to admit it). Take a week of vacation in July and spend it at Leech Lake where we do nothing but stay up all night and lay on the boat all day.
Our simple little dreams for our simple little life.
2010 was a good year. A great year. I wouldn't take back a single moment, a single memory.
