Ending the year with quiet repose....

2010 has been a banner year. A lot of really great things happened in 2010. My niece Megan got married, and so did her brother and now my nephew's wife is expecting a child. My other niece graduated from St. Joseph's High School with honors and started her first year at Marquette. My other nephew became an Eagle Scout.

At work, I took on a new program from another agency and worked with a whole lot of new, really interesting people. I felt a sense of accomplishment and learned how to be humble.

In November I celebrated being Fru Lindqvist for one full year! I can't believe how quickly that year went! I also got to know my father-in-law a little better. He's an intelligent, funny, interesting man and I look forward to spending more time with him.

The year ended with some stress, sadness and fear but then there was relief. My mom had a stroke on Christmas Eve. She's 93 years old and, realistically, I know that one of these days she will pass on but I also believe that no matter how long we live there is just not enough time in this life. I'm scared for when her time comes but, thankfully, she is doing better and will continue intensive therapy at Froedtert.

So, in a half an hour, it will be 2011. I wonder what it will bring and hope for the best. For all of us! Happy New Year everyone!
