Looking at 2012

Well on this last day of 2011 it has been a wonderful day. Beautiful weather, record highs today here in T-Town. We hit 66 degrees but it quickly dropped this evening. My cousin Anna and her husband Barry welcomed their baby boy to the world today. Corbin Everett joined us at 4:51p.m. weighing 6lbs 9oz and was 20in long. He's a handsome little guy!


Well this is the time of year that we all think about setting a resolution for the next 365 days. Some are far fetched and some are reasonable. For me looking at 2012 I will set my resolutions as following:
1. Love More
2. Laugh More
3. Take More Pictures
4. Travel
5. Step Outside of My Bubble
6. Explore the World Around Me
7. Spend More Time Outside
8. Do Something For A Complete Stranger
9. Read More Books
10. Live More
