Here I am, at the end of 2011. Wow.
I follow so many blogs now, and feel I neglected my own blog this year. Truth is, I didn't often have the time or will power to post, but I hope this new year brings me a renewed desire to share my crafting, pictures, stories, and recipes with the world. (Maybe only a few family members and friends at this point, but maybe I'll post the next pinterest craze and get some new followers!)
Here's a few things I am grateful for this year.
1. Passing my qualifying exams. It was a process (over 8 months!), and had me question my desire to pursue a PhD more than once. But, now it's done, and I'm a cadidate!
2. My support system. Family and friends which have always been there for me, and my new-found professional/academic mentors and peers who helped me complete this past semester with a smile on my face.
3. My creativity. Some days, the most enjoyable part is crafting. Helps me stay sane.
4. My husband. Not number 1, you may ask? He's implied in the first three, and I love him more each day.
5. The positive outlook on 2012. I have a few goals in mind, and I am just excited for the new year!
6. My kitties. Love those little brats that wake me up every morning, because they are STARVING and can't let me forget to feed them.
