Remember?

Remember in my last post how I said that something really exciting is happening, but I can't discuss it quite yet? Well, I can discuss it now! My BFF Amy's husband, Bob, flew me up to Boise for Amy's (and my) birthday. We had so much fun and she was truly surprised (there were tears)!! If only someone had a video of that moment...

Here we all are after dinner at Amy's favorite sushi restaurant.

I can't believe Christmas is already over. It didn't even feel like Christmas this year. With the remodeling of our kitchen, we couldn't put our 24 foot tree up. We went to Home Depot and bought a 3 foot tree and a few ornaments, which we set up in my mom's office, where we've all been living for the last three weeks because the rest of our house is trashed. But my brother flew into town for a week, which was awesome! We all had a good time together and enjoyed each other's company.

New Year's is only a few days away and guess what? I didn't make my goal of 52 books. By midnight of December 31 I will have read 47.5 books. The .5 is the book that I'm currently reading and I know that it won't be done by then.

What are your plans to ring in the New Year? I have been invited to all-you-can-eat sushi at a local restaurant that's just down the hill from me. Can you believe it's 2011?
