It happened over a year ago. I started adding an event to my calendar once a month - Brainstorming day.  

A day to head over to a coffee shop with my laptop and my brain and do nothing more than brainstorm.

Business. Goals. Plans. Dreams. For my business, but also for my life...  And how I wanted it to all fit together.

Now, a year later, I have a husband. A partner for life. And I'm no longer planning and hoping and dreaming for one life.

Now there's two of us. Which means more conversations. More communications. More vocalizations. Now we get to pray, dream, plan and brainstorm together.

But it also means more vulnerability. Now he sees all my dreams. My goals. My goals. And how realistic they are... or how unrealistic they are. And now I have accountability.... to get things done.

Do you have accountability? Are you getting things done?

I'm from Minnesota. I learned to drive on ice. Negative temperatures are normal. I have 6 coats. And even more flannel. And I may just say "ya betcha" every now and then. I miss the snow.

Before we went back to Minnesota for Christmas, there wasn't much snow in Kansas City(until, of course, the day we decide to leave the city). It didn't feel like Christmas. Thankfully, Kansas City got a good dumping a few days after we got back - just in time for a beautiful white New Year.

Sunil and I grabbed our coats and headed to our favorite secret spot. We knew it'd be beautiful - and it was. This is a shot I've been wanting to get for quite a while. :)

My oh my. How I love that beard of his....

I was sick. It was a hat and flannel day. But he insisted. :)

And now I'm going to go listen to Christmas music. Happy Christmas in January. :)
