.what a wonderful world.

What a way to start off 2011! Tim came down to visit today and yesterday for New years! It was good to see him again! Hanging out with the family, ringing in the New Year, games, laughing at America's Funniest Home videos, watching lion king and showing him how little there is to do in the tri-cities! We did go and ride scooters! That was fun! haha It was an awesome weekend/New years and I wouldn't have wanted to spend it any other way!

What a lot to think about for the year! I feel like there are so many things that could happen! So many huge ideas floating around in my head of what this year could be. I posted some resolutions for the year up on one of my blog pages. I've come so far from last year. Thinking back to even why I started blogging. It was right after Conner Knoblich passed away around New years. I started because I realized that we can't stay hidden in our own bubble, our world where we hide our emotions - pain, joy, sadness, happiness - from everyone else. When we hide our feelings we put a bubble around us that truly prevents you from connecting at a deeper level to other people. So I think I started blogging to break that bubble. To express my thoughts and be more open to those around me!

So I know everyone is doing the 30 day picture challenge, so I thought it would be a good way to get back into taking pictures for the year. Or refocusing.
