My latest chalkboard wall creation to start the new year!
(From left to right: Wesley, cousin Sammy and Jackson)
I raise my plastic cup of sparkling grape juice to a year unlike any other.
A year that has taught me so much about myself and the strength of my family.
A year that was filled with love and heartbreak.
A year that has brought change and new direction.
A year that has helped me to realize what truly matters in life.
As my grandfather once said,
"You can have a lot of things, but a close family with a lot of love is unbeatable."
I bid you adieu 2011.
Here's to a new year of health, happiness and new adventures!
