one of the most wonderful days of the year

ITS HERE!! New Years Eve!! Those who know me best know its one of my very favorite days :) At the moment I am spending it in my bathrobe, listing to the Frozen soundtrack.. My darling husband is working very hard until 4 and then we we head to Pocatello. So I am just kinda waiting for time to pass and getting excited for our party tonight. Instead of cleaning like I should be I am just being lazy and I thought I'd spend some time blogging since its been a few months :) 

As many do on a day like today, I have been reflecting on the past year thinking of all the wonderful things that happened :) Last New Years Eve I was not to happy about letting go of 2012. It was a fabulous year! The year Michael returned home from his mission. The year we started our eternity together. I wanted to continue living in 2012, but 2013 came anyway. But, it did not disappoint. I have loved it. It has been yet again another fabulous year. In less then 12 hours 2014 will come. I am going to look forward to it coming. I know it will come with new magical moments just as this year did. But for the next less the 12 hours I will enjoy the last of this year and continue to make memories of 2013. 

The Best of 2013 for us..

Our first ever New Years kiss (with the exception of my sweet nephew Benjamin kissing me in like.. 2009)
