New Year, New Adventures

Welcome 2013!!!  We rang in the new year with our wonderful neighbors at Katie and Brian's house, one block over.  The guys entertained themselves all night with table shuffleboard and cornhole while the ladies swapped stories and watched the kids zip around.  We're so thankful to have such a wonderful group of people in our neighborhood and even more grateful that everyone embraces the classic notion of neighbors - spending time together, looking out for one another, and making this a great place to live.  

Just before the clock struck midnight, we passed around champagne so we could toast with the ball drop.  It's the first time I can really remember feeling a sense of excitement and relief with the start of the new year so it was fun to stay up to officially welcome the first few minutes of what I feel will be a great year for us.  It was icing on the cake that we could start the new year surrounded by great people and new friends.

Happy New Year everyone!  We hope it's filled with good things for all of you!
