To start off the year was pretty good. I got my haircut the shortest I've ever had it, and my sister Kimberly just got her mission call and left in February to the Halifax, Canada mission! I was sad to see her go, but it was great to see her so excited about it. We both celebrated our first birthdays as parents. Dan got a job with Eagle, and it was a job that he really enjoyed! However, this also meant that he had to go to Toronto for training for two weeks, and then one more week a couple months later. Then shortly after that, I had my gall bladder attack. NOT fun. I did so many tests and was at the doctors almost every week it seemed. They scheduled me to have surgery while I was still nursing Casper, so I turned it down. Good thing that hasn't bothered me again.. *knock on wood*.
In the Spring, I celebrated my first Mother's Day, and Dan celebrated his first Father's Day! Casper got his first haircut, and soon after that he got his first ear infection. Then came Casper's first Canada Day where we celebrated in Invermere and that was Casper's first overnight trip! The summer was a pretty good time. We went to Kelowna with Dan's family and probably had the best vacation ever! After this trip, Dan and I tried to plan our own trip to San Francisco/L.A. in October. But with Casper's first birthday and Thanksgiving, we postponed it to the beginning of November. But then that snuck up on us and we didn't have time to plan it, so we decide to plan for December. Lucky thing we did because the beginning of November was when I got appendicitis! (So glad I'll never have to worry about that again!). December comes and we see the prices of flights, etc. and panic. So we eventually decide that we will go in January. Plus, it's a good thing we didn't go at Christmas time because that is when Casper had his first puking-fest.
Now that 2011 is over, I am hoping that nothing comes in the way of us going to San Francisco/L.A. because the flights are booked and there's no looking back now! I sure hope 2012 brings us a lot more good things rather than bad. Especially because the world is supposedly coming to an end this year..
