little grey dresses

happy new years!

i love new years almost as much as christmas,

maybe even more.

its the excitement of a new year, a fresh start, new beginings, goals.

2009

my one little word was

PEACE

ive been thinking a lot about that word,

and how far ive come and all that ive achieved in one year.

i started the year out so afraid of the future,

i had to make some really tough life decisions.

it felt like closing my eyes jumping off a cliff and

praying to god that there would be water

or at least a parachute to break my fall.

there was.

i got a divorce, a full time job, new car, had a lot of fun with my kids,

focused more on my photography,

got on my own 2 feet

(with lots of help :)

and pretty much saw what i was capable of.

and i liked it :)

soooooo,

2010

my one little word is

LIVE

i cant wait,

i have so many goals/resolutions...

what would your word be?

even if i ring in the new year
watching movies and drinking sparkling cider with the kids
it would be real fun to do it wearing
one of these little grey dresses...
to bad im broke from christmas,
but seriously so cute.

my favorite new year tradition
growing up
was watching these movies.
im going to go and try and find them today after work.
i HAVE to watch/own them.
im pretty darn positive my dad still watches
them every year.
i lalalaloved natalie wood,
(still do)
absolutley adored her when i was little.
she was the bees knees.
