Oh my Heavens, It's 2011!

I can't believe it is already 2011!  We moved to Tucson in the summer of 2008 and I remember thinking 2010 seemed so far away and now that year has come and gone and we're already in 2011.  WOW....time really does fly!

January was a great month for us.  It brought changes to our lives and good changes at that!  Starting in January I went part-time at my job and I really love it.  It took a little while for me to not feel guilty about it and to really treasure this blessing that God has blessed us with in this time in our lives.  I love being able to get the housework completed, errands run, and dinner cooked by the time Lee gets home so we can have the rest of the night and weekends to just hang out with each other.

We started off the year, celebrating Mom's birthday from afar in Tucson and not really doing much that day.  It was cold here in Tucson.  The first week of January also brought about a date night, Lee still teaching his winter class at U of A, the U of A basketball game vs. Cal, lunch with my girlfriends, happy hour celebrating a friend's birthday, watching the Cotton Bowl on TV (Gig 'Em!), and U of A basketball game vs. Stanford.  We also had the famous "Tragedy in Tucson" shooting this week.  What a sad time to be a Tucsonan.

The second week in Tucson brought about me attending my final Race for the Cure All-Committee meeting, the same night we hosted a "National Championship" party with lots of our Tucson friends, we also had dinner at the Ingram's house, dinner at the Secrest's house, Lee was off of work randomly for President Obama's speech in McKale (building Lee offices in) on the tragedy, and finally the U of A vs. ASU basketball game that Johhny came into town to go with us to.

The third week of Tucson was filled with having MLK day off, getting my hair a much needed cut and highlight, dinner with the Lorenzen's, and girls lunch while the guys hiked.  Short but fun-filled week!

Finally, the last week of January was filled with Lee attending SAAC meeting, Tommy coming to visit us from Lake Charles, Louisiana, dinner at the fabulous Sam Hughes, Sports Management Association meeting, U of A vs. UCLA basketball game, my brother's 28th birthday, the annual Diamond and Platinum Wildcat Club reception, the U of A vs. USC basketball game, and finally attending my monthly Pi Phi AAC meeting.  I sure have missed all of these ladies.

I can't believe we didn't take any pictures in January but we sure had a great month.  Hope you did too!
