Here we are, the end of another year.
It has been a really good year.
I have laughed more than i have cried. I got a new job, which i love. I ran four half marathons and ran a marathon as far as i could, 22 miles, and dropped out to find out how tough i really am. 22 miles on three stress fractures. I saw most of my favourite bands play live. I went to bed alone just a few times.
My children kept on growing. They blossom every single day and surprise me daily with their creativity. Here, at the end of the year, i think i have done a good job parenting this year.
I have less debt now than i did last year. I have shopped locally more often than not. I can’t remember the last time i ate fast food. I haven’t used a credit card in 2011.
I think, maybe, i have grown up a bit this year.

Merry Christmas, friend! Here’s to a great 2012!
Thanks Deanna, you too! Run fast…
Awesomeness…
So glad for you, Jess. :)
I am so very proud of you! I used to read your blog and worry about you – but now I read it and absolutely enjoy it. We hear less of you, but that just means that you are happy and leading a full life with Shane and your children. There will always be problems, but you are handling them.
Have a wonderful Christmad and new year.
your Minnesota friend
Sounds like the end to a pretty good year indeed. Merry Christmas Jess to you and yours.
