2011 Recap

2011 Recap: What a fun and sad year!

Love and I traveled a lot in 2011 - mainly because he plays paintball and go picked up by a Hawaiian team (love went to Hawaii w/out me). Love won his first national paintball event - hard work and passion pays off. I'm so proud of him and will help him become pro one day.
Places we visited: Huntington Beach, CA; Chicago, IL; Washington DC; Las Vegas;
Waukesha, WI

Job wise I have been promoted and still at the same job. I'm good at what I do and would like a increase in income :)

Nov 2011 we discovered my nephew has cancer. He's only 1 years old, poor baby going through the pain and chemo. My mom and dad are most effected by my nephew's cancer. My mom is an extremely loving grandmother who handles most of my nephew's medical forms and doctor visits. I pray my brother's little family will learn to live better lives with his son's cancer.

Ending of 2011 was a rocky year emotionally with the death of 3 family members in Nov-Dec on top of my nephew's cancer. This scares me as the adults around me continue to age. It'll be hard without my great-grandma, great-uncle, and uncle here on earth, but we'll learn to continue living.

As the funeral ceremonies and year came to an end, I finally was able to celebrate my birthday. My then-boyfriend got down on one knee and proposed at my birthday party and after 3 1/2 years, we are engaged. I'm thankful for my parents and friends who were there to share and witness our happiness with us.
2011 started off well but ended badly. I'm nervous to see what 2012 will bring.
