2011

The year 2011 was exciting for me:

Sport - raced 20 races and won 14!!!
Work - started working at the WC for the Ceour d´Alene tribe in Idaho / Blake started full time at Birds of Prey Northwest / Biestmilch USA is launched
Family - first year anniversary, love you honey / loved the visit of my 95 year old Oma / Sinje got her own place / Mom did her first race
Fun - won my first cook off with a split pea sound / did my first eating competition and made it on the "Wall of Pain"

... and lots more. I must say, it was a challenging year, but lots of fun. Thank you to everyone that crossed my path! Love my family --- Kjell
