After a much needed hiatus, I am back my dear friends. The holidays are over and life is beginning to go on as usual. They were wonderful, ridiculously busy, and filled. And I hope that yours were too.
Here are some of my favorite things from this last year:
- Visits from far-flung family and friends.
- Weekend getaway with a girlfriend. (and a stowaway in the form of sweet little(st) E
- A summer completely filled to the top with some of my favorite people
- Our best anniversary getaway to date. (That started with free champagne and chocolate covered strawberries and ended in a free hotel room.)
- An empty hotel and pool fun with my sweet, little family
- Cutting down our own little Christmas tree, no matter how Charlie Brown-esque it may have been
- game nights with friends
- quiet evenings with those I love most
- late night Wii fests full of wins and defeats all around
- laughter, tears, and everything in between that makes life as challenging and wonderful as it always is that leaves us grateful for everyone and everything in it.
I hope to continue my attitude of gratitude for many years to come, not just 2012. May you find lots of reasons to be thankful for the year passed (even if it’s just it’s passing), and in the years to come.
