Goodbye 2010

I can’t believe another year has come in gone.  When you are younger, you can’t wait for time to speed up so you can experience life.  Now that I am older, I just want it to slow down just a little bit.  Just a tad, ok, maybe a lot.  Gracie has turned from a sweet little toddler to a full blown little girl this year.  She has changed so much this year.  Just 3 years ago, I was holding my newborn baby on New Year’s and this year, she was cuddled up to her daddy taking up most of the recliner.  It amazes me how fast she is growing up.  I feel like I can’t keep up.

This year brought a lot of change for our household.  Mostly it was Gracie, but we made a major life change.  When you are a military family, you can never be certain what your future holds.  For a long while, we were planning on ending our military career and going back to civilian life, but that changed in May when Matt re-enlisted for another4 years.  He changed his job and we found out we were staying here at Ft. Bliss.

Gracie got to experience a lot of new things, from bowling to camping, a trip to another country, lots of sun, and a trip home to see family.  She was fully potty trained in the spring, talking our ears off by summer, and bossing everyone around by fall.  This little girl has brought a lot of joy and laughter to our lives, that is for sure!

This is what else that happened in 2010:

Looking over these pictures, you can see Gracie grow up.  Man, I am just not ready for another year.  However, 2011 has come full of hope and promise of happiness.  Matt will be starting his new job this week and we are hoping to see some major changes.  There is no way to know what the future holds, but I am anxious to see how it all unfolds.

Happy New Year from the Cunningham’s to all of you.
