...The other night, Ricky and I were discussing 2011. It wasn't an awful year, but it also wasn't the easiest. We both had to face some tough things in our lives, though I feel the experiences made us grow as people in the long run. We've also grown quite closer, helping each other out when things got tough. These experiences, though, are a bit personal, and not meant to be written about in a public blog. But if you know either of us personally, you know it's had its ups and downs. There were tears, and stressed sighs, and harumphs from both of us all twelve months. Speaking with some friends of ours, it seems the whole year was rough on many people. I, personally, am ready to be done with the whole year and start fresh.
That being said, 2011 had its high moments. Our trip to Vermont was the loveliest few days I've ever spent. I fell in love with Northern Vermont, and if we could I'm pretty sure I'd change my random musings from the 0-1-9-7-0- to random musings from the 0-5-4-0-1.
We've discussed a return to Burlington soon for another vacation, so I'm sure there will be more stories and photos from Lake Champlain in the months or years to come.
We also adopted this little guy:
And any year which involves that face has its merit. Since February, Lewis PizzaCat has charmed and snuggled his way into our hearts. He's grown up a lot since this photo was taken (from 1.9 lbs to 11 lbs) but he's still the snuggly baby we adore and obsess over.
So, 2011, I am glad you're going to be over. You were rather unkind in many parts. I'm hoping 2012 is bright and fresh and new and exciting. I have high expectations for sure.
