Hope you all had a lovely New Years! We didn't do much - just hung out with a couple friends and sipped champagne. But it was nice. :) We did have Christmas with Mr. G's family earlier in the day on NYE and had a great time. Nashville was wonderful, too. We have a guest bed now as well as some other awesome things. For example: between both of our families, we've doubled our everyday dishes and china this Christmas! Funny what you get excited about after you're married...
I don't really have any resolutions this year, but I thought I would go ahead and post my (ever-growing) bucket list in honor of the new year, even though these are not specific to 2012. I'll probably think of a hundred more things after I post this, but here is what I have so far:
- Visit every continent (except Antarctica)
- See the Northern lights
- Go on a missions trip (perhaps later this year?...)
- Have children
- Adopt a child
- Buy a house
- Buy a car
- Start a business
- Write a book
- Go scuba diving
- Take a cake decorating class
- Make homemade lobster bisque (boil the lobster and all)
- Buy something designer full-price
- Invent a recipe
- Learn how to sew (well, re-learn)
- Have a garden
- Own a boat
- Stay at a bed and breakfast
- Become trilingual
- Go to the Olympics (as a viewer, not an athlete...)
- Run a marathon
- Participate in a flash mob
- Be able to fit in my wedding dress forever :)
I know I say this every year, but 2011 really will be tough to beat... New home, new job, first full year of marriage... It was a good year to us. :) May this year bring you joy, peace and many blessings. Cheers to 2012!
