What a great thread.  I should be working but you guys have me hooked&#33;  Drove to work on very slick, ice-covered roads this morning but now the sun is shining&#33;  Hope it lasts&#33;<br />
<br />
This thread made me start thinking about this past year.......<br />
<br />
Our beautiful baby daughter got married - finally - to a great big football player&#33;  She also graduated from college with high honors, opened up her own fitness studio, and did not go with us on our cruise - first trip ever that was not with or about her&#33;&#33;&#33;  She rodeo&#39;d and danced and so all of our vacations the past ten years have been following her to rodeos, dance competitions, etc.  <br />
<br />
Our son married a beautiful gal and is now expecting a baby boy next May.  <img src='http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':biggrin:' /> <br />
<br />
All three grandsons played football for their schools.  As you can see, football is pretty important in our lives&#33;<br />
<br />
Oldest granddaughter started school. <img src='http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sad2:' /> <br />
<br />
Hubby had another shoulder surgery but couldn&#39;t fix him.  Too many years thinking he&#39;s a tough guy&#33;<br />
<br />
I was nominated as the event chair for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life for the next two years so started working on that.<br />
<br />
Our oldest daughter finally got her dream job teaching business.<br />
<br />
Went on our first cruise, first time to Miami, first time to ever go to a tanning bed, first time for hubby to ever wear shorts and sandals.......<br />
<br />
Yep, it&#39;s been a very good year&#33;
