Can you believe it?!?

Another year has come and gone!

I think I am ready. 2009 certainly had its ups and downs and I guess I am ready to see it go. Time for fresh starts! New beginnings! Fun adventures!

We are celebrating in our own quiet way tonight, as we do every year. Just me, Kevin, and Bailey, and our good friend Joe. Our friends Christa & Kevin were going to join us, too, but unfortunately Christa is sick. :( Get better quick, friend!

So I braved the grocery store today. Not only is it New Years Eve but it was snowing so the store was a madhouse. I just wanted to scream "Hello! People! We are New Englanders! It is just a little snow! Get over it!" :-)

But now I am here in my cozy home! My happy place! And I am thinking. New Years Eve sure is a time for reflection, huh? One thing I am thinking about is all of YOU, my dear bloggy friends that I am so very thankful for!!! You make doing this so fun and so worthwhile!!!

My wish for you all is you enjoy a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year filled with all the dreams your heart desires!!!

xoxo
