Today - err yesterday? - was New Years Eve!! I have to say I have been very blessed with such a great 2011 and I hope that this next year will be just as good, if not better. This past year was the best yet. I got to do my first international traveling, start my second year of college at a new school, and run my first 5K, 10K, marathon, and half-marathon. I expect great things for 2012.
My family and I decided to start this new year off right tonight with an intimate gathering involving four of our five, a good friend of my little sister, and one of my best friends and her family. It was so fun preparing for it as well as actually having it! For my first day of pictures, I have selected a few to blog on!

| For my wonderful friends and family I got adventurous and made my first attempt at tomato basil soup. This is some point in the cooking process before I blended it all up and the blender spewed hot tomato soup across the kitchen and down my shirt. It was a learning experience. I have to say, though, that it was quite a success. I think I will make it a couple more times and try to improve it because it came out kind on thin in the end, though. I need suggestions. |

| This is my friend Mrs. Renee pouring our new years drinks! Bubbly grape juice, of course! Only 2 more years until it is the real thing. Even then we probably won't have the real thing, though. It just wouldn't be right in the name of tradition. |

| My mom is so funny! She really seemed to be enjoying her drink. (BTW she is doing a year in pictures blog also. check it out at reluctantmarathoner.blogspot.com. She's great!) |

| New years eve part dos...We always do the countdown twice. Once at 11 with Dick Clark in NYC and then again for real! | |

What a great NYE I had! I can't wait for the days and pictures that are to come! I can already tell that this is going to be a great year.
