Happy New Year!

I have to say I think 2011 is going to be hard to beat. Marrying MMB was by far the best thing that has happened in my life! However, I am so excited for our future together and growing stronger as a couple everyday. I truly am the luckiest girl in the world (at least I think so)! I think my goals or resolutions for 2012 is just to be the best me I can be...I want to be the best wife, daughter, sister and friend that I can be. I want to be happy everyday and see the good in even the bad days. I don't want to worry so much about the future but rather enjoy the present. I am wishing you all a very healthy and happy 2012! I think it is going to be a wonderful year!

My favorite part of 2011:

My sisters, MMB and me ringing in 2012!

We lost a very special man on December 30th, my grandfather.

We will miss him very much

and feel so blessed that we all spent Christmas Day with him this year.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there... I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow...
I am the diamond glints on snow...
I am the sunlight on ripened grain...
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you waken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of gentle birds in circling flight...
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry—
I am not there... I did not die...
