New Years Eve

Today is New Years Eve and we are bringing in the new year with a relaxing night in.  We just got back from New Years Eve mass and David and I are making a homemade meal together for dinner along with Andrew and his girlfriend Jacki.  We returned from Tennessee for the Brinkmann family reunion last night and we had so much fun! It's weird to think that this time next year, I will call them all family! This is also my last New Years Eve as a McPartlan.  Time really does fly! 2011 was a great year for David and me.  David turned 21 in January, we got engaged in April, we finished up our junior year of college in May, and spent our summers abroad in Europe, David traveling on USCGC Eagle and myself studying abroad in España. We just finished up our first semester of our senior year of college and we are looking forward to the new year.  We have lots of exciting plans for 2012 including student teaching next semester, graduating in May, getting married in June and moving to David's first station, and hopefully finding a job as an elementary school teacher.  I am excited about this new year and all the experiences and opportunities in store for us! So here's to 2012! Happy New Year!
