I had to work on New Years Eve.
Usually it's Ben who misses out on the festivities.
Gretchen invited us over to ring in the new year with some rowdy rounds of 31.
I had high hopes of getting out of work and over to her house well before midnight. But, in reality, I ended up on her doorstep with only three minutes to spare before the calendar flipped over.
It was kind of depressing, but I'm counting myself extra lucky since it was such a close call!
After whooping it up outside , they finished up the round of cards they were playing--Luke won--while I shoveled in some goodies!
We played another round, and guess who won? Me!!
This year is off to a good start!

My focus for this year is "Keep it Simple and the Expectations Low".
I get overwhelmed, and little crazy, when I feel like I have too much piled on me. Generally I bring it on myself. This year, though, I'm lowering the bar!
I think it's going to make the smallest accomplishments feel amazing, plus if I can't even get the basics done, then, and only then, am I fully justified in losing my mind!
Happy New Year!
