A New Year

One of my favorite websites is Pinterest, and even though many things on that website are totally overdone, I really wanted to do one of them. There's a photo which reads: "On new year's eve, I want you to kiss me. Kiss me at 11:59 and do not finish that kiss until 12:01. Therefore, I have a perfect ending and definitely a perfect beginning."

December 31st, 2012 at 11:58, I was sitting next to my husband on our double recliner watching the time on both our computer and my phone. I wanted to make sure we didn't miss the year rolling over because last year we were about 7 minutes late. Charles jumped up to kiss me, and his effort made me smile, but it just wasn't the same as actually kissing at midnight! With the saying from Pinterest in mind, I asked Charles to oblige (like that was even an issue) and we made it!! We got that perfect end and perfect beginning I'd been wanting last time. 

Really, though, we were together, healthy, and happy. It would have been perfect either way.
