So, I have this friend... whom I've never met. Her name is Lisa and she lives on the opposite side of the continent from me - in a different country. Somehow, this doesn't stop me from considering her a friend of mine. One might even go so far as to say that I consider her a confidant. I guess that's the funny thing about the blog world. You pour open your heart and soul into your blog posts, and random strangers read them. But not only do they read them, they laugh with you, or cry with you, or offer you support. They can relate to struggles and triumphs in your life. Each time you post, you welcome them into your home for a cup of coffee and some girl talk. It's quite lovely really! I can only hope that someday I circumstances will put Lisa and I in the same place, at the same time and we can really sit down for a hot drink and some girl talk. Until then I am confident in the fact that she'll always be out there in blog land, waiting to offer a shoulder to cry on or to laugh along with me when I do something silly.
This is my life!

On this New Year's Eve...
2010 has been a rollercoaster of a ride and there are so many things for me to be thankful for! Through the ups and the downs, it really did turn out to be a wonderful year full of love and happiness.
... my dad started walking again after his accident and was able to return to work and best of all (for him anyway) play golf.
... my sister is still my best friend and we're lucky enough to live close by and visit at least weekly
... my mom was able to visit us more often than she did last year, even if the circumstances weren't always the best
... my stepmom loves my dad, accepts my sister and i as her own children and was an amazingly strong support system for my dad while he was injured
... my family has survived the year - though not everyone will survive 2011, we had no deaths in 2010
... my bestest has found the love of her life and i\m so thrilled that he's good to her and treats her right
And me? Well, in March, Turkey Butt kissed me and I knew that I was madly in love with him and would never kiss another man ever again. We tumbled into this whirlwind love affair that I know will last the rest of our lives. I love him more every second of every day and wish we could just spend a lifetime together playing boardgames and watching movies and travelling from my family's cottage to his and hanging out with the animal babies and loving each other like it's going out of style. In 2010 we kissed, fell in love, were accepted by and fell in love with each other's family, we moved in together, we got our own place, we got pregnant, we loved and supported each other through a miscarriage, we adopted a new animal baby, we got engaged and we started new Christmas tradtions that we plan to pass down to our children someday! It wasn't always pretty, but it was always love.
Now, to 2011, all I have to say is: Bring it!

Traditions.
When cold season was attacking our household last week, our wonderful (future) wedding photographer Emme brought us some homemade soup! We are so beyond lucky to have met this amazing woman - but that's beside the point. When returning her container, I had to employ a family tradition that I picked up from an Aunt. I sent the container back to her with a homemade treat from me in it. In this case it was another family (Christmas) tradition - Crispix Mix! Watching my Aunt do this, it always struck me as such a thoughtful way to return a kind gesture. Emme, I hope you enjoy it, we appreciate you beyond words! This is my life!
