New Years!

What a fantastic New Years! I had no plans for new years eve at all. I had bought myself some sparkling grape juice and was just planning on hanging at home. I prefer not to be on the roads that night due to the increased number of intoxicated drivers. Well the day before... December 30th, I talk to one of my best friends, and he too had zero plans for New Years... but he also was not feeling well. So the decision was made to chat on the 31st and see how he was feeling and decide what to do... I could not have been more elated and excited. I have known Chris for 5 years, and we have stuck by each others side through some very trying times. So New Year's Eve rolls around and the decision has been made to head to the mountains and meet up with his parents at their cabin. So with in an hour I was packed and off to the mountains to have an incredible time. The cabin and the area is absolutely gorgeous and so peaceful. We played games, watched a movied and rang in the new year with sparkling cider. It was a great time had by all, Amazing Friends, Great Food, fantastic games and a great movie. It was so nice to spend time with Chris, Pam and Steve. We had not seen each other for a very long time. I am so grateful for the friendships that have been made with these 3 amazing people. I met them 5 years ago, by chance. What a huge blessing! Love you all!

This is the scene I woke up to.. The peaceful scenery and even serenity was amazing. I am so grateful I was able to spend the start of a new decade with such amazing people. This next decade is going to be fantastic and started out with a bang! Wahoo.

I get to start school in a week, back to work and teaching tomorrow! Look out life, I am back and ready to accomplish! Happy New Year to All!
