As I reach the end of the Christmas season and approach the start of 2012, I am reminded of many things: a) I have been awful at keeping up with my blogging responsibilities b) I am blessed to live and work in an environment that affords me constant adventures c) I am motivated by great tunes and d) my biggest pet peeves/annoyances are folding laundry, unloading the dish washer and people who double park.
Rather than recap the entire fall season in long drawn out stories, I am going to provide a couple “top 10 lists” and some pictures. For one of my many New Year’s resolutions, I want to commit to getting better at updating this blog with all the funny, exciting and crazy things that happen in my little life.
