Cozy Canadian Christmas

Nothing like the cozy holidays to lift your spirits and make you remember what's important.

I was really lucky this year with seeing those close to me. It started in Winnipeg, spending time with many friends. Back at home I had girlfriends over for drinks & laughs. Christmas Eve we did some moving into the Habitat home. When I got home, my nephew actually walked right up to me and put his arms up, "Up!" (best feeling ever). Christmas Day was spent with my close family minus only one: Lord Gregory, who was so missed. Boxing Day ensured we golfed the regular Classic with the "extended" family. Lots of laughs and good competition. My brother and I got to have late night chit chats and we even had a (quick, but cozy nonetheless) winter bonfire. Last, but not least - snowboarding. Ahem... attempting to snowboard.

At this time of year there is all sorts of reflection and thoughts of new beginnings. 

What will 2012 hold? 

My goals? I might as well put them out there and make myself accountable: 

I purchased a Spanish audiobook on my Kindle and had to get a monthly membership. I guess this means I'm really learning Spanish this year. 

I'm crossing the mystical city of Sedona & the Grand Canyon off my list.

I want to finish these. three. last. courses. so my degree is done for now.

I hope to make it to South/Central America for a women's project.

Finally...moving. East coast or mountains?

Shit. That's a big year. Here we go!
