December 28, 2011 at 1:59 am (511 days ago)Every year we go to my sister & brother-in-law’s home to celebrate ringing in the new year with my parents, my brother/sister-in-law and their family, our family, and my niece’s family. Usually there are 18 of us there, but this year my son will be in Hawaii serving in the USMC, so most likely just the 17 of us.
I usually do not make NY resolutions but around February 1st if not before I strive to get back to working on my weight-this year it was stopped early due to a knee surgery. Aren’t you glad you asked? Happy New Year Aly!
