2011- Year of the Rabbit


So, its been a few months since my last post here. Fall has past and winter is almost over. 2010 was a really good year; a year filled with self discovery, exploration, getting back to our roots, creating a plan. The most important thing that happened to us in 2010 is that we finally figured out how to become unstuck! We rid our feet of the cement blocks, removed the chips on our shoulders (ahem, his shoulders -- just sayin'), stepped out of the sinking mud and made our way through to moving forward with ease.

Now 2011 is here, and I for one am so excited for what it brings. It feels appropriate that it is the year of the rabbit! I think of rabbits as being able to move swiftly but also for producing. I hope to have a productive year, continue to move swiftly forward towards our dreams of starting a family, to Eric finding a new job, finishing his Masters degree (in March - yay!), and moving microWave project forward to a successful business venture with my good friend Allison.

We have already started the process to begin our family, and April will reveal whether Step 1 of our plan worked. If not we will decide whether to repeat step 1 or proceed to step 2. Step 2 has always been a definite step that we plan to take, timing and place has always been the question.

We are also in the process of remodeling our townhouse, which feels like it will never be finished --hell its barely got started. We are also trying to decide whether or not we want to buy the farmhouse. We have until July to make our decision!

I will be leaving for New Orleans next week to attend Mardis Gras with two of my closest friends - Claire and Allison! I have never been before and know that if I don't go this year -- I will never go. I have a rolling bucket list, and this is on it. I will post about the trip when I return with hopefully some awesome pictures!!! We are spending Saturday night of the trip dressed as USO Pinup girls. Crazy!!
