to the brim.

i spotted this lovely idea of a memory jar a few months ago on pinterest

and knew it was most definitely something i wanted us to do. 

{ours is of the "tennessee farm fresh" variety.}

the idea is to jot down good/fun/heart-warming memories, tuck them away in the jar,

and then read them on new years eve (or new years day) 

to recall all the wonderful moments of the past year. 

because we started only back in september or october, we didn't have the jar filled,

but there were a couple of handfuls and andy & i traded off reading them to start off 2012.

i loved it...and loved remembering sweet times together,

whether it was happy hour beers on our little tennessee porch or 

special time spent together following our wedding.

looking forward to filling it to the brim in 2012.

i sense a great year coming on.
