So I said good-bye to dear ones...
...and I flew home.
And I was just fine!
So in February...
...I flew back to Colorado...
...by myself...
...to spend three days with some dear people.
And in March...
I flew by myself to go see dear Millie!
I spent two weeks with her and her family.
And we got to see Dave and Megan!
In May I bought my first car. His name is Claxton.
Lane and I drove Claxton to Nebraska...
...to spend a weekend with these dear people.
In June I drove up to my old home-town...
...by myself...
...for a weekend visit with my childhood bestie!
(and we failed to take a single picture together)
(first road trip by myself. success!)
In July these two showed up :)
And we took some engagement pictures.
We had fun :)
A few days after they left I went to welcome my precious "niece" into the world!
Then in August...
...Lane and I drove Claxton to Colorado...
...for a very special wedding!
We visited some special places...
...made some new friends...
...and caught up with a bunch of "old" friends :)
As summer came to a close my family and I went up north again so I got to see my childhood bestie (and her man) twice in one year!
The day after my birthday...
...I caught a ride to Tennessee with the new Mr and Mrs Jonas...
...and while I was there Kels and I got to see dear Melissa!
(I hadn't seen her since graduation from the summer '10 semester at Ellerslie... far too long!)
We also got to meet these precious kiddos!
And a picture of our visit even made it on the His Little Feet blog. :)
A few days later, James came home from Africa and I flew home (yes, by myself) to Wisco again. And guess what... I was just fine! In fact I've become quite at home in airports and have become a bit of an expert at traveling solo, I think. :)
In 2012 I will (hopefully) fly internationally, by myself, for the very first time. And a year ago today, I would not have believed you if you had told me that.
this was a fun read :)) i like it!
