7 hours and counting

Yep. There are only 7 hours left of 2011. So anything you wanted to do, learn, or see this year you'd better get on that. Anyways, as everyone celebrates the end/beginning of another year, I'm sitting here reflecting on 2011 and making new plans to make 2012 awesome.

Here are some highlights from 2011:

- Moved out of the ghetto (you may be steeped in history OV, but I will never call you home again!)

- We learned how to live like no one else so that later we could LIVE like no one else. (We will achieve financial peace!)

- We walked away from a major car crash for the second time. We know God was looking out for us and as a bonus we don't have a car payment anymore!

- I learned how to can preserves. Round 1 with strawberries didn't work so well, but the figs came out awesome!

and finally....

- I went through all of the boxes that have been sitting in our bedroom for months and they are now ready to go to goodwill on Monday!

Some of my plans for 2012 are:

- Learning how to use my sewing machine

- join the CSA at our local farmer's market. Also utilizing the meat and dairy vendors at the market as well.

- try to become preservative free with our food. Or as close as we can.

- Take Paulie on a REAL vacation.

- walk more

- have less clutter!


I'm sure there will be more things in store for 2012. I'm excited. I can't wait to see what happens!

Happy New Years everyone!
