Well 2011 is here, which makes me reflect back on the past year. It's been one of those "big" years for me-with a lot of major things occuring. In January I had emergency surgery to have my gall bladder removed, in May I graduated from college with an associates degree in occupational therapy assistant, in July our Family took a nice vacation to NYC, in August I started working in my new career field, and in December my oldest child turned 16. All good things - except perhaps the surgery. However, what really makes the year is just the day to day things with my family. We are truly blessed to have one another, to live in this land of freedom, to have the means to provide for our needs. I'm thankful that as we are entering the new year we have jobs and health and one another.
I think the goals for last year were to try more new recipes and to have a vegetarian meal each week. I do think I did a decent job at trying new recipes- and even posting about some of them, however the vegetarian meals kind of slipped away. Not that we didn't have any, but certainly not the quality or quanity I had hoped for. Goals for this year??? I'm not sure, I'm still thinking about that. I want to be reasonable and not set myself up to be disappointed as the year goes on. Maybe something to do with organization?
Richard's going to be travelling more the next few months. I am determined to be a relatively happy wife while he is away! I have a bad habit of taking on the attitude of "if you're not here when I need you, then I don't need you" Oh, the poor man, he really is a good guy. Hopefully the kids, the cars, the weather and everything else will cooperate with me!
Wishing everyone a happy, truly happy New Year.
**Just Finished- The Tenderness of Wolves by Stef Penney ( I think)It was okay, the first half was really good, but unfortunately I felt it went downhill from there.
And so it goes....

You guys are great! And it does sound like you had an eventful year. Since I have a month of vegetarianism headed my way....maybe I will have some recipes to share with you. It's a whole other mindset I think. I find myself thinking...hmmmmm....what to eat if meat isn't the main dish? I know for me it will be a good and healthy shake up to my diet. If nothing else I should have made friends with some vegetables when it is over. :) Wishing you a great new year!

Great recap of the year!!
Let me know if you are lonely when Rich is out of town, and we can go to dinner! :) (Though it sounds like you'll have your hands full with the kiddos.)
