I have to say that I'm happy to say goodbye to you.
You were a year filled with pain and change. Wisdom teeth and root canals. It feels like I spent the year fixing things. My teeth being the least of these things and some things can't be fixed.
We came home and that was a long road. It was easy to pull up those roots because they didn't grow in Utah. In fact we got home just in time to replant them....where they belong.
Turning 40...major turning point.
Oh sweet clarity....I see things more clearly now and I'm excited about the future.
Lessons learned and unlimited joy....in 990 square feet.
Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better (wo)man.

I want you to live in a house that makes you believe one day you can get it. That's why I'm gonna make sure you never see your Daddy stop dreaming because if you stop dreaming...you're just sleeping.

In an effort to take care of 2010 business....here is my 12 SKILL from October (I'm a little behind) I painted a picture.
I'm working on November....at least I bought knitting needles and yarn.
Connie - if anyone deserves a fresh start, it's you. I wish you all the best in 2011. Can't wait to hear about all the good things coming your way.
