A look back at 2010

Wow... 2011.
This year has been SO full of laughs, tears adventures and ... well ... misadventures.
Here is a look back at my 2010....

We started January off on a good foot. We were living in Chemainus and had a beautiful 6 month old baby. She was dedicated at Warmland Church in Crofton on January 31st with her  great grandma, grandparents, god parents and a few aunts and uncles in attendance.

February was taken over by Olympic fever. This is where the 'misadventures' were had - no matter how fun they were. Hitting both Vancouver and Whistler, I got to embrace the patriotism that was OVERFLOWING in our beautiful country and witness it all first hand. We also had a new addition to the Blenkin family as Jettaya Riley joined Daron, Shauna and Emry on the 26th.

March, April and May were spent working, hanging out and basically relaxing in Crofton.
In May, we moved to Crofton. Not a big move and not into a very big place... Sonia and I also made a trip out to Lethbridge to meet her new cousin and my new nephew Kyle!!

June was pretty ho-hum (Jackie turned 21 - but more on that in a minute..) but was followed by a whirlwind month. July was kicked off with Sonia's FIRST birthday! We had friends and family from all over come out to celebrate her big 0-1 with us. July also brought our beloved Kitchen's back to BC!! We got to welcome Kim, Jamie and Penny to our little adorable Crofton bubble! Later on that month, we celebrated Jackie's 21st birthday properly...by going to Vegas. We had a freakin' blast. Nothing is better than a trip filled with slushy jager-bombs, cirque du soleil and bitch slappings...

August was consumed by my friend Angie's wedding. It was full of planning, primping and PARTIES!!

In September we moved up to Victoria...Throughout the fall there were many get-togethers and parties including my birthday and Halloween...and one very very EPIC  thanksgiving at my dad`s house...

With November came the first snowfall of the year and a lot of planning for the month ahead...

...December was a very overwhelming month. For Christmas we drove out to Lethbridge to spend the holidays with Dave`s family. A great trip with even greater weather! Sadly though, on Christmas Eve, we said goodbye to my Uncle Richard and Dave`s Uncle Art.
We spent the remainder of 2010 in Vancouver with my family mourning our loss and having great talks and laughs with family as we went through my uncle`s billions of family photos.

Dave and I rang in 2011 at my sisters. The rest of the group went to the Mountain Shadow Pub but since we had a little sleeping Sonia, we stayed in. It was a cozy and lovely night.

Happy New Year everyone.
