Happy New Year!

I can't believe today is the first day of the year 2011!  Our year has had its exciting, sad, fun, hard & joyful moments but through it all we have grown closer to each other :)
So just where did the year 2010 take us?!
The year quickly started off with 2 back to back snow storms!  Foot after foot of snow was dumped on us and we fully took advantage of the snow days together. 

Our weekends from January through May & August through November were spent at Indoor, Outdoor & Cross Country Meets.  Kevin coached all 3 seasons and Kyle was running his senior year.  It was an exciting Indoor & Outdoor season because of Kyle's awesome season!  We were able to travel to Boston for Nike Indoor Nationals Meet in March and then Penn Relays in April. 

Unfortunately I don't have pictures on this computer from our trip to Kentucky for Easter but we had a blast.  Our family that lives there is wonderful.  Despite the distance and time that goes on between our visits we always can count on have an awesome visit with the Monroe/Armstrong Extended family.  Looking forward to the next vacation to Kentucky!
In May we were blessed with meeting some amazing friends with some pretty cute kids :)  They might not even know just how special they are to us as we were longing to find couple friends to share life with. 

In July we took our first family vacation to the beach with the Graves family.  It was so nice to be able to get away from the hustle and bustle of life & work for an entire week at the beach!
On August 15th we celebrated our One year Anniversary <3 
September was quite a busy month for travel in the Graves household.  I don't think we were home one whole weekend.  The highlight of all the traveling was my trip to San Francisco.  Us 3 girls went from hanging out ALL the time to not seeing each other for 8 months!  We had a fantastic time catching up over a long weekend while exploring a new city.  I also conquered a 6 hour flight by myself and a delay/missing my flight on the way home :)  
This little guy became a big brother and we now have 2 nephews who we love to play with!
We celebrated our 27th & 26th birthday this year!
We look forward to another year full of events that become special memories :)
