The last few days!

I return to work today. I had an entire week on "holiday." it was lovely. 

I took a Parisian cooking class and learned how to cook duck and spaghetti squash...something I plan on tackling this week. I love to cook. but I only make simple things. this year I'd really like to tackle some more challenging recipes.

Friends rented out Bluegrass Tavern and I rang in the new year with truly wonderful people. 

And one of my best friends got engaged to her "woobie." They are both amazing, beautiful people and I couldn't be more excited for them. 

Both of my recently engaged friends!

2011 was a year full of change for me.  I have to say, it was a great year, but I am also ready for a fresh, new year - I hope 2012 has better things in store.  Cheers! And may the best of you today's be the worst of your tomorrows friends.
