Top 10 of 2010

It has been a long time since we have thought about blogging....mainly because we have had a whirlwind of a year! We were writing our Christmas cards this week and begin to brain storm about the best things that have happened to us this year. So, what better way to revive our blog than post our top 10 things of 2010!
Top 10 of 2010
10. We decided to stop buying frozen pizzas in order to prefect the art of home made pizza making...o, and also to be more healthy :)
9. David shaved his beard this November for the first time in 2 years. He promptly grew it back in 2 weeks.
8. Lindsey, with the help of her mom and grandmas, made Ethan’s first Halloween costume. He was a cute sack of taters!
7. David has continued to pursue his passion of song writing and is in the process of recording a CD on his MacBook.
6. David attended his first ever Vikings game in the MetroDome over Thanksgiving break.
5. Relationships with International Students. This fall, David begin meeting with Jun, a Korean student at UIS, to speak English for an hour every week on campus. Since then, we have been able to meet Jun’s wife and two children. We are so excited to continue having them over for dinner and learning about each other’s cultures. Also this fall, Lindsey was blessed with opportunity to disciple an exchange student from China who accepted Jesus while here!
4. Late this summer, we were able to open up our home and have our friend Derek move into our basement. It has been so much fun getting to know Derek better and having an extra set of hands around to rake our leaves.
3. David’s little brother, Scott moved to Springfield in August to begin college at UIS. It is great having someone in David’s family live so close to us.
2. We moved into our first house together this spring! It is crazy and weird that we are in a place in life to be home owners, we feel so grown up ;)
1. Our beautiful, wonderful son, Ethan Andrew’s birth!

We hope everyone has a blessed and wonderful Christmas season!

Maybe in 2011 we will be better bloggers :)
