Bring on 2012

2012 is just around the corner.  There is only 9 days left of 2011, and I am ready for it to be over.  I haven't had a bad 2011, it has actually been the exact opposite.  2011 has been one of the best years I have had in a really long time, but 2012 has more to offer me and I am ready for those things to happen.  Here is my list of some of the reasons why I can't wait to start next year.

1. As I have mentioned before, we are going to Costa Rica in February, and so I am really excited about that trip and cannot wait for it to get here.  There are only 48 days left until we leave!!  But who's counting right?  It is going to be the trip of a lifetime, and once that trip is over, I am going to start saving up so slowly for our next big adventure.  We're thinking maybe Spain or Portugal.

2. Chris will have owned his own business for over 2 years.  That's not a big deal for most people, but for us it is.  Since he is self-employed he needs to have 2 years of tax returns before we can apply for loans for a house.  We will have 2 years of tax returns in April!  That means that we can start applying for loans and hopefully move into a cute little starter home next summer or fall.

3. Zach comes home from his mission in May.  We think it is going to be the Wednesday after Mother's Day.  That is one thing that I am really excited for as well.  Not seeing him for 2 years has been killer, but it has been worth it.

4. I will have lost all the weight that I am working really hard to lose.  I have already lost 20 pounds since August.  That is an accomplishment that I am really proud of.  I am looking forward to losing the rest of it and getting back to my pre-wedding weight.

The rest of 2012 is a wonderful mystery that I cannot wait to discover and solve.  I have the right attitude about the unknown, and I am hoping that helps make 2012 just as fantastic, or even better, than 2011 was.
