Happy New Year!

It is with a great deal of anticipation and excitement that
 I say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new year.

The past year has been the most awesome in many years
and I have been blessed in so many ways!

It was a year of "firsts" for the Captain and me.  We just
celebrated our first Christmas together and tonight will be
the first New Years Eve we welcome the new year
side by side . . . 

(FYI . . . last year had us on the phone, hundreds

of miles apart with the bluetooth as a connection.)

Long distance relationships do work, although not easy!

In 2009 I started what I thought would be an exciting new
career for me . . . 2010 had me walking out in frustration,
although it was an awesome experience and I absolutely

loved my job and most of the people I worked with.

Before the holidays, I discovered an awesome way to make
new friends online and found a circle of bloggers that spans
the globe and lifestyles.  Blog hops have so enhanced my
blogging experience!

Christmas season was fabulous . . . I enjoyed the company
of friends and family like never before.

The UPS guy has been busy delivering packages . . . the result
 of my giveaway wins . . . it feels like Christmas every day.

After years of prayer, my life has come full circle and most of
my prayers have been answered.  The rest will be answered

in their own time!

Good things come to those who wait . . . they really do!

Happy New Year everybody :)
