December Confessions

Photo taken at my wedding

I can't believe we are already wrapping up December and that tonight is New Year's Eve! This month flew by.  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday with family and friends. I love the holidays, but I am not a big fan of winter or the cold weather. I guess that doesn't come as a surprise since I am a self-proclaimed beach bum!  So, my countdown for Memorial Day Weekend is already on. :) Happy New Year, everyone!

1.  Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz
2.  The Giver by Lois Lowry (re-read for "Classroom Book Review")

I hope everyone has a safe and fun New Year's Eve. I am having some friends over tonight so I am off to get ready for that, but here's my wish for you this upcoming New Year:

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself." ~Neil Gaiman
