WOW!  What a year it has been in the Lastick household!  I think 30 has been the greatest year ever, who would have guessed!?  I feared the age like you wouldn't believe, but alas, it has been wonderful!  It started with a surprise visit from Colleen & Scott for my actual birthday, and a weekend trip to Vail, thanks to Tom!  We then ventured to Spain with "the girls" and spouses/significant others to celebrate turning 30.  In November, we closed on a great new house in E. Boulder... quiet, peaceful and a nice big yard with 1,000 squirrels for Jake and lots of places to swim for Rudy.  Soon after the move, we found out I was pregnant!  We found out on New Year's Day and recently found out we are expecting a baby girl!  We call her "Squirt" for now.  I also "adopted" Lakota, a horse I have been working with and have loved too much for the past 3 years.  I hoped someday he would be mine, and now he is!  Not the best timing, but we're making it work and it keeps me moving.  We've got a lot of work to do to get him in shape, but he's starting out beautifully!  I'll be leaving my job at the end of June, which was a very tough decision, but I want to be home with the little one.  

My half-sister, who was given up for adoption as a baby, recently got in touch with my mother!  It was such a wonderful event, and I know my mom and the entire family is thrilled.  It was a huge weight lifted and I am so happy!  I cannot wait to meet her!

Tom is doing well, still plugging away at ATJ and the business is doing surprisingly well with the economy the way it is.  He is back into tennis, golf and softball this spring.  He is very excited about Squirt and can't wait to be a daddy!
