This year we decided we would spend NYE in San Francisco with the Hudson's and all of the crew. I thought it would be so nice to see my family and my cousin Brenda since she just got engaged! Dennis and I had never been to SF together and it would be a mini vacation for us. We ended up having a blast. Brenda was so amazing the whole trip. She picked us up from the airport took us to Christies and then to dinner with her fiance Sean and Mark and Julissa. We found out that Julie is preggers so that was cool. I also loved meeting Sean, I am so excited for their wedding as they make a great match. We spent time sight seeing with the Jim, Mo, Jamie and the rest of the crew. Dave and his girlfriend Kara also met us at a bar one night. New Years was so great as we found out J and M got engaged which made me wish we were back home. We had a great dinner in Chinatown then we celebrated at a great little trendy bar. We had an amazing time with our friends and family.
We did come home to some sad news...Dennis's good friend Jim has bone cancer. He was on crutches on this trip complaining about a bad knee but it turns out he has a big tumor in his femur. It really rocked Dennis's world. He has been so appreciative of our relationship. He is very worried for Jim and often brings him up. We are praying for Jim and I know he will defeat this battle.
We often forget how blessed we are in life. It is when you hear news like this it really puts everything into perspective. 2011 started wonderful for us but not so for the Hudson family. I hope to never take my friends and family for granted.
I am excited for all that is to come....maybe a new home, J and M's wedding, and maybe a pregnancy for me. Only God knows what the future holds but I hope it all works out for the best!
