Well folks, we’re down to the last few days of 2011.  It’s been quite a year.  To recap, the Green Bay Packers won the Super Bowl, Toy Story 3 won best Animated Motion Picture of the year (and is one of the very few Oscar movies I saw for the year), a new Miss America is crowned (Miss Nebraska), Will and Kate were married (yes, that Will and Kate…), the world was supposed to end—and it didn’t…

To say that 2011 was an uneventful year throughout the world would just be wrong.  Many things have happened in the last three hundred sixty-something days.  Positive changes have been made, steps toward progress taken, and lives changed for the better in 2011.  It was also a year of struggle for many.  Natural disasters, political unrest, and Iowa losing to Iowa State at football this fall* were also themes of the year.

Here at Grasshorse, we are grateful.  We’re grateful to be where we are, in a small town surrounded by wonderful people—both family and friends.  We’re grateful to be doing what we love every day.  We’re grateful for our clients who allow us to stretch our imaginations in order to provide them with amazing products.  We’re grateful for the opportunities we’ve had to grow and learn and adapt to an ever changing world.  2011 is almost in the books, and to sum up in one word how we feel at the end of this year, it’s grateful. 

As we look to 2012, we hope that it’s another great year; both for us, and for all of those who we are lucky enough to consider friends, colleagues, and acquaintances.  We send our very best wishes for a year filled with good things—good friends, good health, good memories, and good fortune—to all of you.
