Best Wishes To All:)

 Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.....

Hope everyone has had a great beginning so far to 2011.  For us it has sure started out great.  We have closed on all of our houses and we are about 98% done with all the work on ours. 

Count your blessings everyone and not your problems.  Be thankful for all that you have even though at times it may not seem worth it.   There are many people in this world that would probably give anything to be in your shoes right now.  As someone said life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away...

I am thankful for the little things in life that make me happy and for what I can do to help make the life of others better:)  Remember it isn't what you have in your pocket that makes you thankful, but what you have in your heart.





mom and dad:)



I am happy because my parents are visiting and will hopefully be in Florida for a while.  It is always nice to see them.  We spent New Years Eve together with my mom and dad and we brought in 2011 with them.  Afterward Arvid and I came home and spent some time with Brutus, had a celebration drink of our own and then had our very first dance of 2011. 

All and all not a bad way to start the New Year.  I have everything I could want in life.  A wonderful husband who is also my best friend, friends and family I can always count on and not to ever forget the joy of my life...BRUTUS. 

In a little over a month Arvid's family will also be visiting so that is also always good.    

So far it has been great and I hope it continues to just get better and better for us and for all of you:)   Remember that sometimes tough times are there so you can have a good time later on-- and really appreciate it...

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful....

until next time...
