its drawing to a close. goodbye 2011.

the end of 2011 is closing in on us at a high rate of speed, and i can't believe how quickly it seemed to speed by.  its was quite a year for most of us, myself included.  here's a look back.

we got married.

we stayed in a bed and breakfast.

i opened an ETSY

(- which is still on a hiatus, going through some changes.)

i baked like paula deen.

we laughed.

we cried.

i decorated as early as possible for the holidays.

we rode rollercoasters with loved ones.

we loved.

we lost.

we grew together as one.

as for 2012, i want it to be bigger and better than ever.

i want to:

design.

cook more.

find us a home.

photograph more.

travel more.

show people new places.

eat healthier.

and just have fun!

what do you hope for 2012?

auld lang syne

2010 is pretty much behind us now, and 2011 is sitting outside our front door. time sure does fly doesn't it??  plenty of us are pondering what our next New Year's resolution will be or how next year will be "different."

so many things have happened to me this year, both wonderful & not so wonderful, but i wouldn't change anything.  it all happens for a reason, just another chapter to my life book.

i got engaged to the mister.  i saw my nephew start elementary school. i have learned so many things. i have been to a funeral. i've been to a wedding. we have laughed. we have cried.  we have gained. we have lost.  we have lived.

♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥

 All in all, it has been a GREAT year.  2011 can only be sweeter, and I'm ready for it!

i hope so many of you have had the same amount of joy and pleasure from 2010 that i did.  and with new year's eve tomorrow, i hope you all party it up! 2010 only comes once. 

 stay safe, be merry, have a drink for me, and kiss someone at midnight! love you all cyber lovelies! see you in 2011!

auld lang syne!
