Happy New Year!
I had all kinds of ideas for posts over the last few days but never had enough time to sit down and put together any of them and now here we are at the new year. Just because it’s 2011 now doesn’t mean I can’t still do that, right? So, here I go.
I am absolutely certain that without others linking to me and supporting me, I would be sitting here talking to myself or worse yet I’d have given up by now. I must thank all of you for visiting, commenting, telling your friends about me, linking to me and offering encouragement. Thank you all. It means so much to me.

I don’t know where 2011 will take me and this blog. With the house projects dwindling, hubby and I have turned our attention to other areas of our lives that need improvement or completion. I’m finishing school finally. I’m training for a half marathon. I am embracing and soaking up every little moment that my family has in our home. I am sure the inspiration will come to share the thoughts and moments that make up my days. I thank you for being along for the ride so far and I look forward to another year.
May the year ahead be full of peace love and joy for you and your family.
awesome Emily! Can’t wait to see where this next year will take you. Tell us more about your schooling. Happy New Year!

Lovely picture of you and your children. Keep us informed of all you do–I really love your blog. We have several (grown) children going through a lot of changes in their families. I hope they can handle them with some of the insight you have acquired.

What a gorgeous mama! And look at those darling kiddos.
What a beautiful idea for a year-end wrap-up. I have had many swirly thoughts as well on how to tie up loose ends from the year. Only 2 came to fruition. Oh well. Here’s to clean slates and all that.
Looking forward to what the new year brings to you and your family!

Emily,
I am feeling the same way, I was off doing other things and didn’t get in the blog posts I’d planned! Now here is it 2011! I never even got to do my 2010 project wrap up!? Does that mean I can’t now? Hmmm. That post is half done in my drafts, but every time I go to work on it I just don’t feel like talking about it.Maybe I need a few more days off
Anyway, glad to be among your top referrers.
PS. That photo of you and your kids? GORGEOUS.
Happy new year! Looking forward to 2011, no matter where that takes us and our blogs!

Emily, Thank you so much for YOUR blog and your kind words over this past year. Did you know YOU were the first ‘big’ blogger to e-mail me and ask to use a quote of mine in your blog? I literally did the happy dance that someone would want to use my idea! Now I count you as one of my ‘in my computer only because we don’t live close’ friends!
I appreciate you and I can’t wait to see what wonderful things 2011 has in store for you! xoxo
