Christmas 2010

Christmas 2010 was spent with family. This year's Christmas was special.

My sister, Amanda, got married, December 30, 2010. Her husband just finished bootcamp with the Air Force. They will be moving to North Dakota in February.

My baby brother, Jerry, surprised us all by coming home for my sister's wedding. He is stationed in CA with the Marines. Jerry and Kayla are expecting their first baby this February...a baby girl, Jade.

I was also able to see my brother, Bill, who is in the Navy and stationed in CA. I hadn't seen him in almost a year.

I also got to spend a day shopping for bridesmaid dresses with my good friend/sorority sister, Amber. She is tying the knot in October this year. I am so honored to be in her wedding. I'm glad our parents only live 15 minutes from each other, so when we're both in from out of state, we can see each other. :)

Seeing my niece/God daughter, Ella, is always one of my favorite parts of my trips to Michigan (sorry everyone). Seeing her just makes me smile and it warms my heart to hear her laugh.

It was a great trip to Michigan. I'm glad I was able to see my brothers who are stationed out of state with the military. This Christmas and NYE was wonderful.
