as ryan and i stood, surrounded by our friends, watching that twinkly ball drop we raised champagne filled glasses to another year passed in good health and good spirit....
...to a year spent learning the ropes of first time parenthood, falling head over heels in love with the most phenomenal accomplishment of our lives...a year spent cherishing the few quiet moments we had alone together as we learned JUST how busy a baby can keep you...a year spent listening to our hearts (even when it was scary) and changing course a bit...a year that brought tears of joy, moments of doubt, ear to ear smiles, sleepless nights, belly laughs, diaper changes, baby snuggles and pretty much everything else in between. goodbye 2010....you were one for our record books :)
i love new years and clean slates. i also love the traditional black eyed peas and collards my mom always whips up, cooked with sweet southern spirit complete with a silver dollar at the bottom of the pot (for good luck of course!!) i love new years resolutions. always have, always will....and this year i think i've got a few good ones. i LOVE that we were lucky enough to spend the evening in the company of dear friends....nothing lavish or fancy....just people we love alot and people we have known for many twinkly ball drops. we toasted the beauty of the year behind us and the adventures yet to come. we ALSO got to toast the fact that our dear friend Adam popped the question to his girlfriend Lee and she said YES. we are SO excited for them....watching two people in love like that is the best :)
may this new year bring you handfuls of reasons to raise your glass. may your home and heart be filled with the love. happy new year!!!
