So, there is a trend happening right now on social network photo apps, and the "blog world". Capturing a picture everyday in 2012 to remember your year. We are going to try it. Why? Because this HAS to be our year. Saying goodbye to 2011 was NOT hard; let me remind you why:

January 2011- Went in to have my wisdom teeth removed, ended up with a fractured tooth, and abscess tooth, and finally another root canal

April 2011- My father died

May 2011- Find out I am pregnant.... on Mother's Day

May 2011- Lose baby at dad's funeral and have to end up in the hospital for 2 days

June 2011- Friends lose their son in a tragic and horrific accident

July 2011- Spread my father's ashes and ended the estate drama

July 2011- Family Fourth of July cancelled b/c of a drought - not that big of a deal, but when does that ever happen?? In 2011....

August 2011- Enter into an adoption... good news, right?

December 2011- get hit upside the head with a failed adoption 2 days before Christmas.

Yep, see ya' 2011.... No fond memories there.

So here is my picture for the 1st day into 2012:

A bottle of Dom Perignon. That is what we had to ring in the New Year. Unfortunately, we left shortly after midnight because as I was sitting there playing games, I realized that I was supposed to have a baby in my arms. My daughter was supposed to be there spending her first New Years with us. Needless to say, I had a complete breakdown in the bathroom and we abruptly left.

We figure take every ounce of luck we can get this year, that is why we bought the Dom. We also ate black-eyed peas and ordered a wooden elephant (thanks, Chelsey) that will go on the fireplace and face the door. Apparently it is a great source of good luck. Hopefully it will all work out for us. Happy 2012! ~Amy
