Looking back on 2011, I can see that I've really slacked off on blogging. I'd blame it on work and Nathan, but the truth is that I can always make time for the things that are important to me. Documenting our lives so that we can look back and remember how much we lived, loved and laughed is very important to me! It is my New Year's resolution to blog at least 4 times a month, so check back with us often to join in our fun (oh, and there will probably be some tough times in there too, it's part of the deal).
We changed the name of our blog to better reflect its purpose and changed the address of the blog to match the name and increase our privacy. So, no more "Crigler Connection." We are leaving that behind with 2011.
Let me catch up on blogging by writing just a bit about Thanksgiving 2011. As usual, my sweet husband - a 3rd year resident at this point - was working almost the entire weekend. My parents came to visit and they accompanied Nathan and me to a Thanksgiving brunch that I hosted at my grandparents house along with my Uncle Ed. Since I planned brunch, I had no plans for dinner and figured we'd just get takeout. My Dad and I drove around a DARK South Tampa looking for something.... well ANYTHING that was open. We came home hanging our heads, failures with no feast. I whipped up some tuna fish salad sandwiches and my mother, playing the role of the very polite guest, told me that it was delicious and she LOVED tuna fish sandwiches! Sometimes parents are so sweet!
That Saturday we all (even Britton!) went over to my grandparent's place for my uncle Ed's barbershop quartet concert, performed as a tribute to my grandfather. I finally took the camera out and snapped a bunch of pictures!
