Well, it's been 2011 for nearly a month now, but I thought it was still worth it to go through and take a peak at the last year. 2010 was an awesome year for us: the first whole year we'd been married (all 365 days!), first anniversary, Andrew hit the big 3-0 while I kept him young :), traveled to India, invested in girls at a school up here in Minnesota, and ...
January 2010: Heart of Winter
We rung in the New Year in Milwaukee at our annual student conference. Then it was back to campus to hit the ground running with retreats, students and meetings.
(Our first India team retreat!)
February 2010: Valentines Day
Andrew surprised me during our first married Valentine's Day...
...and took me out to dinner at a huge conservatory so despite the subzero temperatures, I could walk around sans jacket while feeling like we were outside surrounded by ponds and gorgeous flowers.
March 2010: Breaking into Spring
We took a trip with staff friends to Bayfield, WI for a long weekend to get away!
(please note: ice on the back half of the water...Lake Superior was just starting to melt!)

April 2010: Anniversary Trip
We scrambled to get out of the cold to celebrate our first wedding anniverary! A found a great last minute deal to Orlando where we hit the beach, ate out, headed over to Wycliffe Bible Translation's Unreached People Group Museum, and celebrated Eater at R.C. Sproul's church

(Our anniversary fell on Easter weekend so we found and visited Sproul's church)
May 2010: Summer Break to Atlanta
We got to spend time with family, go to a few weddings, catch up with old friends and even get some much needed landscaping and house things done at our rental property.

June 2010: Lots of Traveling (S. Dakota, Atlanta, S. Carolina, India)
We hit the road for South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore and tour the Midwest, headed back to Atlanta to be with family and mourn the loss of Andrew's Grandaddy, celebrated Andrew's milestone 30th birthday, took students down to South Carolina for training and then loaded up for a 6 week Indian adventure.

July 2010: India!
We stayed in Delhi, but visited the Taj Mahal...
...and hung out with Indian college students there.
August 2010: Resting Back in the States
We arrived back from India and soon after Mom and Dad came up for a fun visit while the weather was ideal...
...and they were also in town for Andrew's duathalon.
September 2010: Back to School
We got back in the swing of life in Minnesota and hopped back into getting to know and investing in students.
And football season was in full swing!
October 2010: Fall!
We took our fall break a few hours north to see the colors change and enjoy a break
...and we carved our first family pumpkin together...monogramed and with a football
And Andrew's parent came up for a wonderful visit.

November 2010: Thanksgiving + Winter!
We visited Atlanta for restful and fun Thanksgiving
(Here's the immediate Knight family together after hiking around Lake Rabun)
...but not before we had a major blizzard in MN that brought us nearly 2 feet of snow!
December 2010: Christmas Travel
We finished up time on campus, traveled to Atlanta and then New Orleans...
(at New Orleans School of Cooking with the whole Link side)
...and Baton Rouge to visit our amazing families for Christmas
(Here's A and I at my Grandma's in Baton Rouge on Christmas Eve)
(Don't they look so fun? They are!)
