2011 Recap

Okay - so I will try really hard not to go a year without blogging again!  It's been a little stressful reliving 2011.  I had my calendar marked pretty good and have gathered pictures from cameras, cell phones, facebook, etc.  I think I have journaled most of the major happenings here at the Neus house.  I know I have forgotten a lot - but 2011 was about survival.  And look - I survived!  2012 will be about enjoying every minute that I have.  I will document the little things and carry my camera with me at all times!  I love my family and I am so glad that we all made it through 2011.  Below are pictures (in no particular order) that have been gathered and represent this past year.

These stupid dogs got out and Brian and I searched for their owners for a couple of hours. Never found the owners so we dropped them back off where they were.  Our car was a wreck - filled with hair and slobber.  Bad decision to stop!
