Happy New Year!

Well 2010 ended rather uneventfully, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. My two brothers, friends, and three of my cousins went to Times Square last night to watch the ball drop. I decided that I would have rather pulled my own teeth than be crammed in with millions of people unable to move or go to the bathroom for hours. Instead, I put on my Pj's and watched everything from the comfort of my living room with Dad. 2010 was such a strange year of highs and lows. Attending the funeral of a teenage boy one month, and a joyous wedding the next. Meeting new friends. Another friend getting engaged. I wondered what 2011 would bring?

This is the year that our family will be splitting up and embarking on new adventures. Part of me was a little nervous at this realization, but mostly excited at what the year would bring. I've decided 2011 will be the year of trying new things, of joy and wonder.
