our year in photos

As I was looking through some old photo albums, I realized that Brantley and I had an eventful year. 2010 was a great year for us! Enjoy our year in photos :)

January: We experienced a new love for Costco! Even after a year, we continue to make our weekly visit.

February: Well, the first day of the month is the best, and last year it was even better. Having a snow day on my birthday was a wonderful present! Later that month we decided to give indoor rock climbing a try, and we loved it!

March: Just before Easter, we visited Brantley's dad and step-mom in Virginia. We celebrated the holiday with lots of delicious food, and we even dyed some eggs.

April: Along with our friends, we took a trip to the Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens in Belmont, NC. I got lots of great photos of some gorgeous, exotic flowers.

May: This was a busy month for us. We celebrated B's birthday. Then after that, I was preparing for the end of the school year, and we were preparing for our upcoming summer adventures.

June: We drove to Orlando and stayed the weekend with Brantley's mom. That next Monday morning, we headed to Tampa, where we boarded the cruise ship that was headed for Grand Cayman and Cozumel. That was the first time that either of us had been on a cruise, and we had a blast!!

July: Our second trip of the summer was destined for St. Louis. While there, we celebrated my aunt's 50th birthday and Ava's 2nd birthday.

August: Our final trip of the summer took us to NYC and Martha's Vineyard. We saw so many amazing landmarks while in New York. We walked around Manhattan in awe (and probably with our mouths wide open). That city was incredible! During the middle of our stay there, we drove the short distance to Martha's Vineyard. It was an exhausting, yet exhilarating adventure!

September: There were two Sundays during this month that we got to go to the Panthers football games. Even though they didn't win, we still enjoyed tailgating and hanging out with friends.

October: This was definitely a major milestone in our lives! As soon as Brantley popped the question, I started getting ideas and began planning.

November: For Thanksgiving, we headed to Orlando again and enjoyed the holiday with B's mom and uncle.

December: Alongside Brantley's dad and step-mom, we enjoyed a white Christmas in the mountains of Virgina. After our stay, I headed home to St. Louis for a few days. I celebrated the holiday with my family, and I picked out my wedding dress.

2011 will not hold as many events, but it will hold the most important-our wedding. We're looking forward to it! :)
