the best of intentions

i had hoped to share more of christmas before taking off for the the new year festivities but i really just need to take a break. i got a little overwhelmed today trying to get everything together, while still working an 11 hour day (i work 11 hrs./day 4 days/wk.).. i'm just a little bit tired and want to enjoy myself (+ relax!) on the trip. we're leaving for kansas first thing friday morning to visit with alex's family + will return monday. i hope you have a fun and safe new year's eve! i'll come back sometime next week to share some of the things i'm most grateful for in 2006 and some of my goals for 2007! also, i'll probably pop in with flickr to share photos while i'm gone if you want to check there. love + hugs! joleen
