This was a really nice, and festive New Year! We had a house of full of the people we consider close friends and all of us played Rock Band until 11:45pm, December 31st, 2010. With glasses of champagne in hand, we toasted the entrance of 2011 with singing, hugging, and kissing. It was a wonderful evening and, certainly,seems to set the mood for this New Year.
Things will be changing so quickly this year. There's only 5 months left of my master's program...weehoooo. There's a trip to Jersey in February to meet the professors, tour the campus, and check out the neighborhoods. There's the move to Jersey in August...wow...is it really only 8 months away? Seems like it was just a minute ago that we were talking about a year and a half not being so far. Chris will be working on an ambulance soon - so we won't be seeing very much of him. The boys are growing like weeds and all the baby stuff will soon turn into pre-school shenanigans. Ahhhh...if they could stay itty bitty forever. Clark will start growing and by the time we move to Jersey...he'll look like a full grown boy.
I have been thinking about how much has happened in the last seven years. Believe me, there's been a lot. I came home from an extended vacation on January 21, 2004. I started sharing my life and my home with the most wonderful person on April 7th, 2004. My cats will be 7 this year. Our family has grown and I have four grandchildren I get to see, one I never see, and one we don't believe belongs to us - still...I am blessed with the future of six families added to my Holiday celebrations (I might be one of those grandmas with six grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren; 24 great great grandchildren...whoa...that's a lot of folks. It could happen - I might be 90 when it does, but still...it could happen.
This year is going to be awesome...I feel it in my bones! I wish for all those I love and cherish to have that same wonderful feeling and to pursue their heart's desires in 2011.
