This Year I...



Well, 2011 is almost over.  Trent and I are spending a quiet New Year's Eve at home with no plan except to watch the Big Bang Theory marathon on tv and not even try to make it to midnight. Nerd alert... We are also going to continue a NYE tradition from my childhood of eating junky cereal.  I stocked up on Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.  Growing up, we weren't allowed to eat such evil cereal except on NYE so I'm keeping that going.  :-)  Oooor, I just wanted an excuse for some sugar...  Anyway, how about a look back?
