2011!!

Finally we can get over all that Christmas/New Year fuss!! I love the holidays but they are so exhausting and slightly nostalgic. It was my first New Years Eve that I spent away from my family, and BOY was it hard! 

For the last 27 years I've spent every single NYE surrounded by the warm embrace of my family, hugging my mom & sisters, dialing to call my dad (he usually stays home sleeping, but not this year), listening to the Colombian National anthem (why? Idk it's a Lema tradition) and counting down as the ball drops to begin kissing everyone and their mother at 12AM. However, there was something SIGNIFICANTLY different about this year.. and that is (drum roll please) I'M MARRIED!

I'm not complaining about being married, it was awesome to be with my husband and have him be my first kiss of the New Year, but I missed seeing my mom,dad, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousin, (you get the picture), I missed the Colombian National Anthem, I missed kissing everyone. I guess more than anything I just missed being with them.

My hubby's fam was very hospitable and the party was fun (minus the mutt bucket). 

Well now that I'm done with that! I'll moving onto 2011! I have a feeling it's going to be a great year! I haven't made any resolutions (i usually never follow through anyways) but I'm looking forward to great things.. First stop EUROPE! For the next three months we're on SAVE mode, we'll be crossing the pond in April and I want to make sure we have all bases covered. I'm so excited I could scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2010: You were great to me, you were a year of many changes! 

2011: Hope you'll treat me just as good if not better than 2010!

To all my friends & family- May this year bring you tons of love, health & prosperity!
