Happy New Year everyone! As I type, there are only a few hours left in 2011! I am enjoying those last hours at home, with my puppy (& baby Connor in the belly). Derek is at work and felt no need to party until 3am with my friends this year... umm I wonder why :). 2011 was quite a year. We had some heart ache in the beginning of the year, lost a good family friend in May, found out our lives would forever be changed in June, and watched my brother & Christine say "I do" in October . Each year I am grateful for the ups and downs and each year I look forward to seeing what the next year has in store. I know 2012 will be great! We will welcome a baby boy into the world and I'll get to watch my husband be a daddy... What could be better than that!

Although 2011 involved sadness, like any other year, as I sit here, I am 100% content with where my life is right now and I thank God everyday for that! Happy New Year everyone! May 2012 be filled with health, happiness & enjoyment!!
