Bye Bye 2011

Geez. Is it December 31st again ALREADY?! As usual, and as my dad has always told me, the years go by faster the older I get. Yep, he was right. Again. Let's take a look at the year that is about to end....

More Sunday Night Dinners, trips to Tahoe, new clients, many more miles on my running shoes, more recovery & independence for my sister-in-law, boys finishing 6th/7th grade, Andrew starting his last year in middle school, Robbie playing in a garage band and the Hart Middle School Band, new ovens, FUN birthday month, Rock of Ages in SF, new job for Dan, saw Temple Grandin speak live (she's a rockstar), overnight in SF w/college buds (did we sleep at all?), track meets, basketball games, dear friends' kids high school graduations, family trip to Europe (London! Paris! Rome!), girls' weekend in Carmel, running 5K's with Robbie, rockin' summer party, MANY concerts! (Bryan Adams, Creedence, Doobies, Yes, Styx, Kansas, Foreigner, Journey, Chickenfoot, Montrose), honor roll assemblies, Stanford football game, completed 9th half marathon, feeling stronger, Mom turns 70, and Christmas parties. Whew. 

Looking forward to 2012, I am hopeful for: 
-Continued health
-More independence for my sister-in-law
-Stronger friendships for Andrew-especially as he starts (gulp) high school in the fall
-Frequent laughs & fun with Robbie
-More getaways with Dan The Man
-Lots of quality time with my parents
-Keeping my clients happy
-Completing my 10th half marathon in April with many friends beside me
-More concerts & more laughs with my girlfriends
-Increased acceptance & understanding of all people with special needs
-More good wine

Happy New Year! Now please, won't you refill my wine glass? I'm ready to get this party started.
