a fresh start

We're back from our long holiday vacation. It was wonderful catching up and seeing so many of our family and friends. I miss everyone tremensely, but i am looking forward to a fresh start and this new year.

We rang in the new year in Colorado with Bear's Aunt and Uncle. And although Bear and I were flighting to stay awake until midnight ( I know, lame) we made it to about 12:05 a.m, just  enough time to sneak in a kiss and reassure each other that this was going to be a great year for us. On our drive home yesterday we made a list of goals, plans, and activities that we would like to accomplish and do this coming year. While we have always tried to have goals for our life and fun activities planned, these past couple months seemed to put a halt to those things, and this year we are bringing them back!! Like weekly date nights, eating dinner at our dining room table (not in front of the TV), eating healthier, saying and doing sweet things for each other, and going on lots of adventures in our new town. This year is going to be a great year. I believe that, and my goal is to try to make each day lovely. No bad attitudes, or feeling sorry for yourself days. Those all can stay in 2011.

I am excited for 2012 and am very thankful for all the many memories that we made and lessons that we learned this past year.
