See ya, 2011. :) I'm pretty excited for all the fabulous things 2012 holds for us. Hopefully the first great thing coming our way will be someone buying our house! I'm so ready to start on our journey... we have a long way to go! Selling the house, sorting our belongings, letting go of a lot of things.. storing others. Moving to arkansas for a couple of months (well, me and the kids, andy will be working...), flying to st. thomas, finding a home! Ah! But I'm getting so far ahead of myself. Tennessee is home for the time being and I'll make the best of it!
Something that I'd love to do in the new year while I live here: start a wine club. I tried to do this last time I lived here, and I don't think I was in the right circle, haha. No one enjoyed vino! But now I know some fabulous ladies, and I hope that a once monthly, or every 6 weeks, I can host a wine night with my friend Gretchen! I think that would be so lovely! New wines every time and some delicious cheeses and fruit!
Anyway, remember all the super fun surveys people used to do back when myspace was popular? Yeah? Well Brittan has one posted on her blog tonight, and it looked fun. Besides, the kids are in bed, its my anniversary (7 years! I miss Andy so much!), its the most fun holiday bash of the year.. and I'm at home! So, why not? :)
