Here's to the New Year

It's the start of a fresh new year. We can log 2014 in the books and continue to trudge on, right into 2015. We spent New Year's Eve with the crazy Page clan. Playing Werewolves (which, like always I tried to cheat my way through. I got killed right off the bat almost every round. When I asked, "Why do I keep getting killed?" my 4 year old niece replied, "Because you always cheat." Ahhh, touché 4 yr old, touché, eating, laughing, watching fireworks, and running around like crazy. Pretty much a normal get together with those crazy Page's
(Yes, that is the littlest Brown in Chris's arms still up at 12:00am. She's wild!) 
I should be writing about my resolutions, or Christmas, or Ever's B-day I never journaled about. But alas, not going to happen.
 
If anyone ever doubted that Chris and I were meant to be together, today will be the day your doubts will fly out the window. There must have been some magic in that tan, Rusty baseball cap and that red, Billabong shirt that Chris had on. Maybe magic in that pink shirt, jean skirt and black, steel toed, army boots I had on the very first day we met.
 That first moment "Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! for I ne'er saw true beauty till this night." (Shakespeare people, Shakespeare!)
It was meant to be! Even our hobbies intertwine together. What could be more compatible, more similar, than horses and architecture? They are one and the same. Horses needing miles and miles to roam free. Buildings sometimes taking up those much needed miles and miles. Right, one and the same. Both being equally brilliant in each of our minds eye.
Sometimes magic happens. Our 2 worlds collide. Horses and architecture. Architecture and horses. Together in perfect harmony.
