happy new year.

Wow!  2011 is almost over.  And phew, we made it!  It's been a challenging one, but there have been very valuable lessons learned through it all, that will benefit me for the rest of my life.  And for that I am truly thankful.

I think the most life-changing one being: emotional self reliance.  This has been such a liberating lesson, and one that has changed my life (and I think my families life) for the better.  

So tonight we are celebrating new year's eve low key; going for a little hike, making some cute and crazy party hats with the kids, eating a little frozen yogurt and a little martinelli's to ring in the new year.      

I am very much looking forward to 2012!  And I am so thankful for my wonderful family and friends and all of you who stop in from time to time on this little blog of mine. 

Happy New Year!
