~Happy New Year! Off to an interesting start!~

Happy New Year all of my lovely readers!

I can't wait to hear all about your NYE festivities and fun, so do share.

We had a fun night at a friend's place which had an AMAZING view of the Space Needle

 and raced home to ring the New Year in  . . .just us . . . at home with our pups, and barely made it in the door with 5 mins to spare!

~We kissed~

~kissed our pups on their heads~

 and were ready for the New Year!!!

Soooo I wake up this morning not feeling too hot.

Nope I know what you're thinking, the dreaded New Year's hangover.

Nope!

I had maybe 2 drinks all night and was the DD . . .

I seemed to have found a 24 hour flu . . . was on the couch clutching my barf bowl all morning.

Yuck!

So now I am feeling better, and hope that today is not a sign of what's to come in 2011!

I am so excited to see what 2011 has in store for me, my family, and my business.

I didn't set any resolutions this year, so I won't break any:-)

But like I wrote in my previous post . . .

BALANCE

is my word for this year.

Bring it!

Psssst . . .  my lingering ickiness almost made me forget . . . I just scored some killa deals shopping the other day! Stay tuned for pics . . . and my shoe/boot obsession:-)

I don't know about you all, but I am sooooo ready and pumped to welcome the

New Year!

Bring it!

We had a fabulous 2010 . . .

~Went on an amazing trip to Europe~

~Started our investment portfolio together~

~I built my business/passion~

~We adopted LuLu~

~I started my blog~

~We turned a room into my office~

~Spent great time with family and friends~

etc.

Now onto a New beginning.

I decided instead of writing a long list of resolutions, I wanted a word for 2011.

(kind of like in Eat, Pray, Love!)

and my word is . . .

~Balance~

I am ready to forge forward in life, but also to find balance between everything.

2011 for me will be all about organization, sifting out some unnecessary things to make room for the fun and fulfilling, getting my life together, making sure to balance work with an adventurous life, and make sure to spend quality time and make many memories with my amazing husband, and all my loved ones.

I want to delve deeper into a few great friendships, and focus on quality, not quantity.

I will continue to work on my Day Zero Challenge, 101 goals in 1001 days and blog about our adventures.

We have TWO trips around Europe planned (loooove mileage reward cc!), and this may be our last full year to travel and only enjoy each other before we think about any additions (what?!)

So in 2011 I will balance all my craziness so that I can live a full, happy life.

What is your word for 2011?!

I hope you all have a fun New Year's Eve planned with the one's you love, can't wait to see pics, etc. in the New Year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR blog friends!!!
