Goodbye, 2011. Hello, 2012.

I have always been very interested in writing. Whether it be to get my feelings on paper, to help others or just for the mere fun of it. And I've finally made it my new years resolution to start and maintain a blog.

I want this blog to be a way for me to be more open about how I'm feeling, to connect with the people who write the many blogs I follow and of course to document this sweet adventure of life.

As I write this, I'm sitting on my couch with the love of my life and and a great friend, and I'm amazed by how much my life has changed in just this past year.

In 1 years time, I can't believe all that has happened. I am lucky to say that most of the things that have happened have been good. I got to start a new job that I love, meet my nephew (Dominic) on January 22, 2010, and meet my amazing boyfriend. Of course with all of the good come struggles, I would say most would be financially however I also dealt with my first semester of working full time and going to school full time and I must admit that was probably one of the most difficult things I have done ever.

Thinking back through this year, I can't help but think how incredibly blessed I am. I am spending my new year exactly how I want, with the people I love, relaxing at home. Needless to say, I'm ready to put behind me anything that happened this past year and embrace everything that 2012 has to bring.
