2010 in Review - The Bitter and the Sweet

This year has been jam packed with big events - unfortunately, not all events were good. This year was really bitter sweet and while I had some really good times, I won’t be particularly sad to see 2010 go. It was, by far, one of the most emotionally difficult years. But like I said before, there were many good times, and December has been particularly good with spending so much time with family and friends that I have had very little time or desire to be sad. That being said- here is the year in review (just the big events of course):
