Heidorn Hightlights: 2010 Review

1. We got a jump start on the year by kissing on the rooftop of our hotel in Venice, Italy. Quite the way to start the year right? We spent the first five days of 2010 finishing up our Christmas trip to Italy.

2. We spent most of the winter weekends snowboarding at Targhee. 

3. In April we packed up our house and moved for the 7th time since we got married! We moved with Pinnacle to Nashville, TN. We survived the Nashville floods our second week living there and my mom came to visit us! 

4. We celebrated Nixon's 1st birthday with a 5 mile walk with both Miles and I (his favorite activity) homemade party hats, new toys, a wet food cake and sparklers! 

5. We had a fun 4th of July in Nashville. Nixon even got a taste of fireworks for the first time! He loved the bright lights but he was a little unsure about the loud booms. He lasted about five minutes before I had to run him home because he was scared.

6. I got to fly home to Connecticut in July to spend a week at home, go to a Mets game with my dad, and got to see some of my close friends from high school. Hayley flew in to NYC from Basel, Switzerland for the weekend so I spent a weekend in the city to see her. We also checked a few things off our couples bucket list including kareoke with our friends Chase and Chelsea and Kevin and Rochele. I surprised myself and actually got up and sang 3 times!

7. We found out in July that we ARE HAVING A BABY and in October that HE'S A BOY! You can see the little peepee in the bottom right corner. The ultrasound pictures were taken at 20 weeks the second week of October. I'm now 30 weeks! He's coming quickly!

8. We celebrated our two year anniversary! It was our cotton anniversary, so I set up a snow room (because we started dating in the snowy Rexburg tundra) and a timeline of our two years together!

9. My baby sister got married in the Mount Timpanogos temple in September! Our family is now complete (minus all the grandchildrens!) 

10. We hosted our first party at our house, a halloween party! Miles and I were contestants from Nickelodeon Guts and our Nixon was a Ghostbuster! We had a lot of fun decorating and you can see in the pictures that Caiden started to make his presence known around 21 weeks!

11. We made trips to visit both our families! We went to Connecticut for a weekend in October to visit my family and to Modesto for Thanksgiving to see Miles family!

12. Miles celebrated his 25th birthday with presents, cake, and a surprise visit from his best friend KC! He flew in from San Diego for a long weekend. I wanted him to have a fun birthday filled with exciting activities that I can't do while I'm pregnant, so I sent them off to go snowmobiling south of Jackson Hole for a day! 

13. After five years of Christmas's spent apart, my whole family got together for Christmas this year - in BERMUDA! I'll have to do a full post on this later, but here's a little preview! Our trip was amazing, filled with snorkeling, cave swimming, shopping in Hamilton, a glass bottom boat tour, a trip to the aquarium and zoo, celebrated my dad's birthday, and ate lots and lots of food!

2010 was a good year for us. As I reflect on all the things we were able to do and the places we were able to go I can't help but be grateful for all of our blessings, and to have Miles by my side through it all.  2011 brings the biggest and greatest adventure of our lives, parenthood! It also brings Miles college graduation (hallelujah), a big move to somewhere exciting for a more permanent residence, and many many unforeseen and exciting experiences. 2010 you've been good to us, but bring on 2011!
