Wow! 2010 has been a fun year! Lots of new things have happened this year, and I must say that in some ways I am sad to see 2010 go. I am sure 2011 will bring just as many fun, exciting, wonderful moments, so I'm looking forward to all the things that are to come. However, before I ring in 2011, I must do one last summary of 2010. So, without further ado, here is 2010 from my eyes! A year of pictures:
Winter 2010 was a busy, busy time:

 |
| I had Easter dinner with Kat, Mickey, Patrick and Kat's family! |

Not long after returning home, a very life-changing event happened in Nashville:
 |
| The weekend of May 2 brought more rain to Middle Tennessee than this area had ever seen... |
 |
| Soooooo many people either had damage to or lost their homes... |
 |
| Because my office was closed for most of the week, Patrick and I decided to volunteer to help flood victims. |
 |
| Here we are with Peggy, a 90 year old woman who stayed in her home during the flood, but eventually had to leave her home for good. |
As things started being cleaned up from the floods, everyone's lives started getting back to normal. Here is what the rest of May brought:
 |
| Steeplechase 2010 did not disappoint with tons of fun and crazy good times! |
 |
| I even got to meet Jevon Kearse (a former TN Titans player)! |
