Spending this New Year’s Eve hosting a Finger-Foods/Tapas Party with family and friends.
I’m rather glad this year is finally over…..2004 was a tough year for me and for those I care about. Aside from the birth of my precious Summer, this year was pretty shitty.
Nevertheless, I continue to count my blessings and am grateful for my good health, amazing husband, wonderful children, awesome family, very special friends, my wits, and my sanity.
Highlights of 2004:
- living in NorCal (specifically, with my parents) again
- Summer’s birth
- family vacation in Hawaii
- Mexican Riviera Cruise
- 7 weddings
- 6 engagements
- 21 births!!! :shock::grin:
I’m praying and hoping for a happy, healthy, safe, and less tumultuous 2005 for us all.
So far it’s looking pretty good….Aric is due to return from his Taiwan project (permanently) in 13 days! YAY!
Here’s to 2005!
