For the first time in my life I was actaully sad to bring in the New Year. 2010 has been such a remarkable and unforgetable year that it brought me to tears. Brant and I were surrounded by our close friends as usual. This time, however, was a bit different. We usually walk in the front door with nothing but booze and our appetizer. This year I felt like we took over the place with an almost 20 lb baby in his car seat, blankets, toys, pack n play, diaper bag, christmas presents, and of course I forgot the app. So the party starts at 7 and Brant and I were the first ones in and the first ones out. Sam and I played for a while and then I put him to sleep around eight. As I held my sleeping baby in my arms and gave him an early new years kiss, I got to thinking again how amazing this little guy is and I still can't believe he's my boy. I still can't believe that the answer to all my prayers finally came true and Brant and I welcomed our first born this year which then led me to tears... again. So needless to say I'm sad to see it go but more thankful than ever for our blessings in 2010. I'm starting to picture myself rocking a 5 year old Sam to sleep who's outgrown our chair and still crying in just sheer joy.
To all of our friends and family, I can only hope that your 2011 can bring you as much joy as our 2010. Cheers to health, wealth, and happiness!
