But really though, no end of the world, so we get to enjoy another year :) YAY!
It's crazy to me how the years seem to go by so much faster than they did when I was a kid. I mean, do you remember when a year felt like FOREVER? And now a year doesn't seem like that long at all. One year, two years, three years, forty years.... so strange.
I am proud to say that I accomplished a lot of my New Year's resolutions from last January and have made significant progress in the others. It is a good feeling to look back on that list and find that you really did make a lot of improvements and accomplished a lot of goals! I didn't really know what that felt like before Brandon and I got married because I always lost my list of resolutions before the end of the year, but now we keep them in a very specific spot and always look at them before we write our new resolutions. I also like the fact that I am no longer looking at just resolutions that I have set for me, but I am also look at resolutions that Brandon and I have set as a couple. We have made good progress there as well! I love that.
Last year I did a post that had a whole bunch of "things I loved about 2011," "things I didn't love about 2011" and all that jazz (you can see that post by clicking here) and I think I'm going to do the same thing this year!
