.A Downton Abbey Par-tay....

with a big bowl of homemade carmel popcorn...

.my best day ever!!!

Spencer has been teasing me about "something special" that he was making for me for about a month and a half now...

I was excited cuz I always love those cute crazy ceramic little thingy that they make,

(and yes, I still have all of them that my kids have made over the years)

so, today when he came home and I closed my eyes for my big surprise,

I.was.truly.surprised!!!

THE CUTEST GREEN APRON!!!

it fits me perfectly, I love the pocket, and I absolutely loooove the crooked white stitching!

thank-you Spencer for the sweetest gift given.

and don't even be fooled....

he's standing on his tip-toes.

.twenty twelve...

Resolutions...we all have them!

As I think back on this past year there are many thoughts that come to mind...

I will not say that it has been an easy year

but,

I will say, that amidst the many trials we've been through this year there have been many many more blessings!

I've set 3 goals this year, they are simple and sweet goals,

but very powerful at the same time,

or

doing them and seeing the outcome will and can be powerful...

I didn't do a "word" this year like I've done in the years past,

I've just decided to stick with my goals which would encompass my new word anyway.

I feel good about this new year and my new goals.

so far, so good!
