What did you do in 2011 that you'd never done before?
Bought a house, Finished a Masters Degree, got a job as a Director of Education, became a “parent” of sorts, read 99 books, started accepting things being less “perfect,” walked away from a job because it “was time,” got into the Salt Lake Farmers Market, said “no” to one thing.

Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Nope, read 99 books instead of 100 but I accepted that I would rather spend the last days of the year with family than reading alone so I’m ok with this decision. I set some very ambitious goals for this year though. Waiting to see how it goes.
Did anyone close to you give birth?
Emily, Hilary, many couzins, and a few close friends (Jen, Sheena, Maryanne)
Did anyone close to you die?
Todd lost his Gandfather.
What countries did you visit?
Nope, focused on other things this year. Hoping to hit Europe with Todd in the spring!
What would you like to have in 2012 that you lacked in 2011?
I got both from last year. And Kyle came to live with us which was a total surprise bonus. So nothing, which makes me think that I need to be far, far, more grateful and happy.
