A New Year

Today I am feeling my age and still recovering from New Years Eve festivities. A night out these days means two days of recovery. I remember being 21 in college and having multiple nights of going out in a row and feeling great. Now one night every 3-4 months is all I can take.

We had a great time and a fabulous meal. I tried duck for the first time, yum!

My friends Amy and I. She has tons of pictures on her camera that I will get soon of the night.


This year are happy to be starting out at home and healthy. Last year we woke up New Years Day in the ICU with a very sick baby. The start of our year was rough but as the year went on things kept going up and we star this year on the up!

I never make resolutions because I think I just set myself up to fail but I have a few goals.

*Save more money than I spend.

*Be more patient. Being a parent has taught me tons of patience but I still have a ways to go.

*Have more dates with the hubby.

*Plan a trip. I am way overdue for a vacation. I am thinking wine country in northern cali.

*Be a better blogger!!

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year and your 2012 is fulfilling.

Off to play with my ladies man....

The only reason I was awake until 2am this NYE was because we were at a wedding... otherwise I would have been in bed by 11! :) Happy 2012, lady! I'm sure it's going to be a great year! ;)

Hit me up if you're going to go wine tasting in NorCal! I live in the wine country and know the good wineries! I do have to say that the spring and fall time is the best time to come out here though. Winter and summer aren't that great.

Heather, I can't remember exactly HOW I landed on your site. All I know is that I clicked on a link from another site because you said you were Chicago-based. I'm always interested in reading Chicago blogs because I'm here as well.

Anyway, your wedding was gorgeous! My hubby and I did the barefoot beach wedding too, but it wasn't as fancy as yours! :)

Your family is beautiful and Brayden is so brave and AWESOME.

Looking forward to getting to know you!
