Dear Friends and Family,
It's almost a new year and we are definitely looking forward to 2012. Now I'm not complaining about 2011, it was pretty awesome, but I know there are better things to come. I'm looking forward to a year of less goodbyes, less change, and a more "normal" way of living, if there is such a thing. I'm looking forward to a year already half full of travel, family, friends, and a big pretty big event...our wedding day. I'm looking forward to adding a husband, 2 parents, 4 brothers, 4 sisters, 5 nephews, and 1 pretty cool niece to my family. That's 17 more people to call family...that's pretty awesome.
I'm pretty sure I spend more time reflecting and being thankful at New Years than I do at any other time of year. Here are few things I have been thankful for this year....
 |
| Challenges. |
 |
| Family. |
 |
| True friendship. |
 |
| Happiness. |
 |
| Love. |
 |
| Trust. |
 |
| Fun. |
 |
| Memories. |
 |
| Relaxation. |
 |
| New adventures. |
 |
| Cuddling. |
Now these are just a few of things and if you didn't make a picture...don't worry I'm thankful and grateful for you also. It would take me entirely too long to put up all the things I am thankful for.
I'm not going to make any resolutions for 2012...most of the time those end in disappointment. But I am going to strive to be a better person...a better friend. I'm going to smile and laugh and cry...a lot. I'm going to give a lot more hugs. Those all are all definitely doable.
Thanks for stopping in....and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Love,
Shannon
