I won't even make the joke that I am tired just reading that list. 2010 was a spectacular year filled with joy, laughter, loved ones, and at times, complete insanity. I woke up each day with my best friend. I got unconditional love from two wonderful sons. I jumped over fire (twice). I ate chicken wings. I worked on maintaining my tribe that keeps me sane. I looked at people with my camera and tried to capture their souls.

I hope 2011 is bigger and better. I plan for it to be bigger and better.

I hope each and every one of you will be along for the ride.

Happy new year.

Thanks for making me a part of your "tribe". I'm so lucky to have you as a friend. Love all the pics you posted, but especially the wonderful family photo at the end.

Happy New Year!!

Seriously incredible. You inspire me! And how did I miss Carolina Tiger Rescue? I guess I need to hit the archives!

JenFen said...

So you won't do it but I will - I am seriously tired just reading all the fun and excited things you did in 2010, including hanging out with me in person TWICE!

BTW, I played one final show me the mommy just under the wire.

Sadia said...

WOW you did a lot. I absolutely adore that last photo.

I forgot to tell you at the time, because I totally didn't notice it, but hearing aid: totally unnoticeable. :)

Angela said...

Pictures are to die for. Have to agree, hands down BEST YEAR EVER. So glad to call you friend!! Happy new year!

absolutely FABULOUS year.

I love all the pics but the beach ones are my favourites - the one of the chairs is one I would have above my desk :) and of course the one of N & A at the pier is canvas-worthy!

did anything not go well?

Happy 2011 to you Laura and to the wonderful and amazing Case family!
