A clean slate

I am excited about this new year and all that is coming with it.
Here's a list of things I am looking forward to:
1. Another year of doing my dream job, and being more involved in it than I have been in the past (since I live here full time now and can actually speak the language).
2. Family coming to visit (maybe we'll get my brothers down here!)
3. Friends coming to visit (you know who you are and that you do need to come)
4. Really immersing myself in the Brasilian culture and falling more in love with it every day (including getting what Amy calls a "holiday tan" since it's summer here)
5. More volunteer teams starting up in April
