Wow 2010 went by fast.  So many things happened this past year, lost a very close family member, some distant friends, and new babies were born.  I didn't accomplish everything I set out to do in 2010, but I am proud of myself for what I did accomplish.  Some of my goals will be the same and others will be added.  So here it goes.
