2011 has been good to us so far. I have continued to enjoy my job as a middle school counselor more and more every day. I work with wonderful people, and the kids are...well...a little bit of everything. They are funny, caring, sensitive, full of emotions (and hormones) they can't describe, and a little bit of trouble. I love it! I am also settling into my other job at Safari Island in Waconia (about 5 miles from our house). I work in the aquatics program as a lifeguard, swimming teacher, and swim coach. I am there about 10-20 hours a week, and I am SO grateful that I have time to be so involved in the community doing something I absolutely love. Yesterday when we went to church, it was so fun to see one of my little swimming lesson girls up there in the kid's choir. Growing up in a small town where everyone knew everyone, I'm feeling so much more at home finding these little connections here in my new hometown.
Nick has done a lot of traveling so far this year. If you keep up with him on Facebook, he is having a lot of fun posting the temperature of his travel destinations. He was in Miami last week (82 and sunny) and New Orleans and San Diego the week before that. I am SO jealous! However, he is going back to New Orleans in June for a conference, and I am able to go with him! I have never been to New Orleans, so I am very excited to do some sightseeing!!!
Wedding planning has been going well. I ordered a dress (YAY!), and I am going bridesmaid dress shopping February 19 with my four closest and best friends who have agreed to stand up for me during our wedding. Want to know who's in the wedding?!

Our furbabies are doing well. Milo had a booster shot this morning and weighed 37 pounds at the vet. We were expecting him to be in the 40's this time around...he just seems like he's getting so big! He's getting better about the potting training, but I think we are still a ways away from being able to trust him. Milo and Sera are getting along better and better every day. They get in to so much trouble together, but it is also so fun to watch them play together.
