New Years! No resolutions this year - too much to concentrate on as it happens than to worry about setting goals to achieve (or more likely not achieve) all year. I will say that last year I tried very hard to be thankful for things everyday and I will continue that because I think it makes one a more service minded person if they stop and realize all that they have. My mantra - that to those that have been given much, much is expected. New Year's Eve was great! We went to the most amazing wedding I think I have ever been too. My friend Victoria was married at the Grove. It was neat to go to a wedding of two people that have experienced life for a while. They said their own vows and there was not a dry eye in the house! It was so beautiful and I felt to lucky to be in the presence of their union. You could feel the love, I love weddings because everyone is so happy and romantic and it is always beautiful and I always cry. This one was no exception. The ceremony was very unconventional but so, them. They had a caricature artist there to do the guest book and a big band. It was so cool. The cakes on every table were beautiful, the food was delicious and everyone got a bottle of wine to take home! I just kept going wow! wow! wow! What a way to start out your new life together in the new year! After those festivities we headed to Sunny and Heather's house to ring in the new year with our friends at midnight! Lot's of food, drink, friends and fun! It was great. I love being with my sister, she is beautiful and always makes me laugh. New Year's Eve was no exception. Always a good time with the Mitsri clan! We love that it always feels like we are all one big happy family. It was fun to spend time with our friends and start 2009 with them. We rang in the new year with a toast and a kiss - it was perfect! Our mom always calls us after midnight to say Happy New Year so we got to talk to her too! And Brian had stopped by earlier so it was just a great day filled with lots of love and family. This day I had lots to be thankful for.
