Best of 2011
Here are some highlights from my year. I think. A lot of it was a blur. Pregnancy does that.

Television/Drama: Fringe

Song/Secular: Ya know, I'm not sure. But the one stuck in my head the most was Tonight Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae. Ha. Now it's in your head too.
Song/Sacred: Blessings by Laura Story
Band: I think Hillsong takes it this year.
Book/Fiction: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and The Help by Kathryn Stockett
Book/Non Fiction: As Silver Refined by Kay Arthur

Blogs of People I Don't Know: Rants From Mommyland, Hyperbole and a Half
Food:

Recipe: Cooking? What's that?
Spice: Nutmeg

Quotes and Expressions:
"Good job, little buddy."
"I'm a fireman."

Bible Verse: 1 Peter 5:10-11 "And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power forever and ever. Amen."
Lesson Learned: This year was a year of unbelievable blessing. I saw firsthand how obedience is rewarded and how God delights in giving to his children. It wasn't that everything this year went perfectly and that there weren't real problems to be dealt with. It's just that I am overwhelmed with all the good that I can't seem to focus on the bad, even the horrendous morning sickness that kept me down for 24 weeks. Biggest blessings: Seth's a firefighter and we have a new baby. Craziness.
