2011 you did not disappoint

2011 had a lot to live up to as it had to follow our first year as newlyweds, which was pretty fantastic if I say so myself. 
Here are a few of 2011's highlights:

we recorded one of our songs 
we dreamt about having a little monkey of our own

i sang with the Ars Flores Orchestra in Miami

my soul friend came home

i force fed that friend some sushi

we moved in with my mother after the divorce

we made a baby

we found out she was a girl

my belly grew and we had some awful chilli
my belly grew some more

i had a truly wonderful birthday

i got some bangs and made a silly mistake

mr. Murphy got shot

and he lived to tell the tale and turned 24

we witnessed an epic pregnancy reveal

we picked some oranges and made a movie about it

i had an excellent shower for my babe

we took some pictures in the family orange grove

we did christmas up in our baby's nursery real good

i hung some pictures in EJ's nursery

i had a freak out and then felt better

Dear 2012,


You are the year that we will become parents.
Try to go easy on us, we will be new at this.
And please try not to go as fast as 2011, we want to savor every moment.
No doubt you will be full of many firsts.  
I can imagine you being rich with smiles and gazes at our new baby, family trips, and perhaps a new home.
We can't wait to see what you have in store for us.

love,

R & J & little e
