OBVIOUSLY we hope to bring home a sweet baby or two this year. (HOPE, HOPE, HOPE!!!)We are (HOPING TO) travel to Ethiopia twice and see an amazing country, and our child(ren).
We will both be turning 29 this year. It will be the beginning of our LAST year in our 20s. I am dreading this a bit. Today I was looking at some old pictures, and saw a guy I went to high school with. I thought to myself, "He looks like he's 30!"
And then I realized. There is little difference between 28 and 30. I probably look like I'm 30. And I was immediately embarrassed. But just inside my head, because none of this conversation actually happened out loud.
I'm not sure why, but in my head I still feel like I'm in my early 20s. I actually think I'm cooler than what I really am. And because people in their early 20s are cooler than people that are almost 30 - I of course couldn't be almost 30. In my head.
I will have a rude awakening in 2012.
But back to 2011 -
We will be getting travel vaccines. And lots of them. And do you know that these shots are NOT cheap? I had no idea. I called the lady at the health department, and she said it could be around $400 per person. Whoa. Those are some serious shots.
We'll decorate a nursery!
We'll put together a crib (or a bed - depending on age. Maybe BOTH!)
David is going to run the RiverBank Run - I'm trying to get him to do the 10K. He's tall. With long legs. And he runs circles around me. I'll be there to cheer him on. And MAYBE do the 5K. But only if I'm confident I can finish before he's done with the 10K :)
I'm going to be a Girls on the Run Coach again this year - Yay GOTR!!
We'll be preparing for Brian and Elizabeth's wedding - which is actually happening in 2012. But 2011 will hold lots of planning, talking about, and growing excitement!
And probably SO much more that I don't even know about.
I can't WAIT for this great year!!

I can't wait either!! And I LOVE the wedding pugs.
I will also turn 29 this year...kinda hard to believe we are getting so close to 30! Yikes! Hoping there is 2 trips to Africa for us both this year!! :)
dude. 30 is the new 20. you have to let me believe that. :)
30 is the new 20. What honestly worries me the most is that I'm starting to like clothes from LL Bean...
Woohoo! Exciting year for sure. Looking forward to celebrating every step with you.
P.S. I'm noticing that even at 25, my cousins who are early 20's already thing I'm "old". Of course celebrating my 7 year anniversary and working on our 2nd kid doesn't help ;)
Ya'll are so young!! :) Don't worry, the 30's aren't that bad...:) Can't wait to see who God brings in our lives this year!!!
