The Best of 2010

As we look back at 2010 we feel very fortunate for our happiness, friends, families and are thankful for all the wonderful memories.We can't wait to see what 2011 has in store for us.

This year was full of exciting travel with vacations getaways to South Africa, Zambia and Rapid City, SD. We also did a fair amount of driving between southern Washington and Portland for dog training and shows.

We had lots of highlights for the year such as having Odin in his first hunt tests towards his senior hunter title, being in his first dog show and winning Best of Winners in multiple shows, getting a second Brittany- Loki, buying a new house, selling our old house and best of all going to South Africa for the World Cup. But, undeniably a low point of our year was watching certain family relationships worsen rather than get better.

There were a couple of additions this year for our friends and family. The birth of Emily for the Gran's, Robin for the Shimkus's, Evan for the Purdy's and a baby coming in 2011 for the Wass's. We also celebrated the marriage of the Staneff's in September.

And, we celebrated a big marriage milestone with our 8 year anniversary in July which marked the 11th year we've been together!

We look forward to a great 2011. Happy New Year!!
