So I haven't blogged much in 2010...

But, in 2010 I have:
  • Watched Liam learn to (army) crawl and pull himself up;
  • Watched a baby calf be born;
  • Taken a photography class (if you are close to Cache Valley and are looking for one, I highly recommend Brooke);
  • Since finishing the class, taken every picture in manual mode;
  • Been bowling twice;
  • Helped my cousin Jake with his Eagle Scout project;
  • Started running (I'm doing the couch-to-5K program, but I'm calling it running);
  • Registered for a triathlon (of which the 5K is part);
  • Been to a baptism;
  • Watched in awe as my husband takes care of me and Liam so well;
  • Worked part time (trying to keep to 24 hours a week) for the University of Oregon;
  • Helped Will teach 11-year old scouts a couple times (thank goodness he has a great assistant now!);
  • Commuted by plane one day (to Sacramento);
  • Let Liam teeth on my fingers, toes, chin, etc.;
  • Taught Sunday School once and Relief Society once;
  • Fixed my grandma's phones twice;
  • Been skiing once;
  • Attended two family funerals;
  • Picked up Liam's toys approximately 275 times;
  • Kept up my consulting business and even secured a new contract last week;
  • Spent a weekend in Island Park; 
  • Kissed Will a few times;
  • Taken a month off of facebook (still easing back in);
  • Had my stitches out (my finger still looks gross);
  • Walked at least 20 miles pushing Liam's stroller;
  • Finished all but the open dive to become SCUBA certified (the cancellation of the open dive opened up some time for this blog to be written!);
  • Read "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do You See?" approximately 126 times;
  • Traveled to Oregon with Liam for meetings; 
  • Made a few meals (including a fabulous birthday dinner for my mom);
  • Changed more diapers than I care to count;
  • Filed taxes, by myself(!), for us and my business;
  • Registered to vote and attended the caucus meeting;
  • Purchased a baby seat for the bike and taken Liam on several bike rides;
  • Lost 32 lbs;
  • Taken Liam to six doctors appointments;
  • Spun out and slid off the freeway (the truck and I were both okay and Liam was in the car with dad);
  • Used my sewing machine and serger to make cute Valentines' outfits and a wallet for my cousin, Joe;
  • Been house shopping (window shopping for now);
  • Seen two bald eagles;
  • Planned a bridal shower for my brother's fiancee;
  • Done some laundry (but not as much as Will).
I could go on but that about sums it up.  I've been busy and pretty productive most days.  I still haven't figured out how to be a good mom and a good employee and not feel guilty about not being extraordinary at both all the time.  I'm working on it.

I'm going to start blogging again.  In order to catch up and get myself going again, I'm going to post every day in April!  I'm sure you can't wait (if you're still checking).  I may even post again before April.  Maybe.
