Here's to you, 2011...

I'm back! :)

Can I just tell you that I've been really quite surprised, touched, and overwhelmed by all the comments, emails, facebook messages, and texts I've received regarding my lack of blogging?  I've gotten really sweet comments, and have discovered readers to my blog that I never knew I had.  It's always great to have someone tell me they take time out of there day to read the craziness that is this blog, and it really has been a huge encouragement to me.  So thanks to each of you who come here, and a special thanks to you who sent me a message or said something to me...it means more than you'll know.  

Okay, I'm putting down my Oscar now. :)

So, to answer the big question I've gotten a lot, "Why aren't you blogging?"

...I'll be honest. 

 There's been a million reasons why, ranging from being really busy, to a bit of soul searching and reevaluating things.  I have a difficult time giving candid answers or posting generic posts, and rather than turning this into a "Dear Diary" saga, I thought I'd spare you the hot mess and take a break from my blog.  

With that said, I'm back now, and to answer the second most asked questions, 

"Are you going to finish your 30 day photo challenge?"

...Yes!!!  

It will most likely be a couple weeks, but it's going to get finished.

Until then, I hope you all had a really Merry Christmas and a great start to the New Year!  I'm kind of curious to the resolutions you made...or maybe even more curious of the ones that weren't made! :)  I'll be sharing all that goodness here, but until then, Much love to you all in 2012 and three cheers to 2011...it was an extremely wonderful year.  

Cheers.

P.S.

Here was my Christmas card and the winners of the Christmas Card suggestion is Erin D. (suggested taking pictures of me wearing my boots!) and Ben L. (suggested planking)...even though I ended up with a card that didn't show either, it was those two suggestions that led to this card you see!
