New Years.

For many years growing up, I spent New Year's Eve with my Gramma. We always stayed up til midnight, eating way too much good food and watching all the bad acts of Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve. A few of the years my cousin Luke spent NYE with us, which was always a good time.

I am so thankful that I grew up very close with my extended family. They are all amazing people with beautiful hearts. I am blessed to have been born into such strong love with a beautiful example of that love in my Gramma and Grampa (who I never knew).

New Year's Eve is always hard without Grandma Rose, who is now spending it with Dick Clark (har har, I'm so funny). New years come and go, but some traditions will not die. I will cherish those times and I will watch Dick Clark's special tonight, dang it, and enjoy very little of it.
