A Few Moments From 2011

January

Spent some time getting vehicles stuck in the snow and sledding with Mike’s family at their stake camp.

I wouldn’t say that totally summed up our year, rather, it was an occasional glimpse in on us during the year – with many significant events likely left out and many trivial ones left in. Still, I can’t offer 2011 any real complaints. It was a good year and one full of happy memories that I will enjoy looking back on as we cruise along leaving this year as a small dot in time.
