hello, 2010!

2010 has greeted us with so much love, assurance, joy & good news! on new year’s eve, we spent the evening over at our favorite new {neighbors’} home. we enjoyed drinks & good conversation, talking about health care, sustainable living & food. i absolutely love the conversations had with friends. we left around 11 & brought in the new year tucked under blankets & in a deep sleep. i wouldn’t have asked for it any other way.
on new year’s day, i cleaned & he cooked. it felt so good. he made black-eyed peas with cornbread & local bacon. i scrubbed the bathroom, reorganized the closet, boxed up the christmas decorations, & bagged up some things to take to our local thrift store. at the end of our day, we spent the evening setting up luke’s new record player & dancing to frank sinatra’s “tell her you love her.”
now, i’m enjoying a quiet evening of baking zucchini bread & working on our meal plan.

as for good news, please visit {him + her} tomorrow afternoon for our new year’s resolutions & new beginnings!

love,
natalie
