a year to remember

what a year!
My mother calls this my year of recompense.  Life has not always been a cake walk for me.  2008 was spent in and out of  hospitals literally fighting for my life.  Maybe 2010 has been that kind of year for you.  If it has please know that in Gods timing he restores everything in ways so good you could not dream them up yourself.
Thank you Jesus for giving me the man I've always prayed for and a beautiful year abroad spent traveling with him.  
Cheers to 2011.  May this next year be truly amazing for all of us.

I just came across your blog for the first time and I can't stop reading!!

I am a globe-trotter, as well. I leave in 2 weeks to spend 4 months in Europe. I have loved reading your posts about the beautiful places you've been visiting in Europe. I wish I was bringing my man with me, because it looked like you and JB truly had a fairytale-worthy time traveling together.

Do you have a specific post about must-see places in Europe?

Thanks a bunch and keep up the awesome posts :)
