I loved Danni's idea of 12 before 2012, but since I missed the opportunity I decided to make 12 simple goals for 2012. Some are more challenging than others, but each important to me. Hoping by making them realistic I can meet these goals by the end of the year:) I love a fresh start and blank page...

tears and suffering, joy and peace:

3. The Happy 1000's.

4. Welcoming two new nieces to the family, and receiving a new nephew on New Years Eve!

5. Running a successful business, and knowing that it was time to close the doors.

6. Celebrating three years of marriage with my spouse.

7. Moving back to Georgia.

8. Getting to teach first graders a few hours a week.
