Happy New Year - Welcome 2012

Good-Bye 2011! You are definitely a year I will never forget. You brought me the happiest and the saddest times of my entire life. I am ready for a new year. I am ready for the feeling of a fresh start.

I have made 12 Goals for myself for 2012. There are so many more things I want to do... my list really could be about 100 items... but I want to make realistic goals and have to make sure to have time for my family and friends too!

1. Get finances in order!
2. Lose weight
3. Make time monthly for craft projects
4. Be more active/involved at church
5. Complete Emily’s Nursery
6. Complete Guest Room
7. Keep up with household chores
8. Go 2 places I have never been before
9. Start college
10. Work on marriage/family
11. Keep up with blogging
12. Make my mom and dad proud

Merry Christmas 2011

Emily's First Christmas was a huge success!  Here is a rundown in pictures:

As you can see, Emily made sure all presents were taste tested for security reasons.  She loved everything and has had fun playing with all of her new toys.  ** Barb, doesn't she look just like my mom in that last picture?**  Anyway, I hope everyone's Christmas was as blessed as ours.

I still will be posting a bunch of pictures from our Thanksgiving trip to Texas, Louisiana and South Carolina!
