Recap of 2012

Holy buckets!! 2011 knocked E and I on our butts....and 2012 was a rebuilding year...and boy was it! It was a year of firsts for us and we made it amazing...and we plan on making 2013 just as amazing and memorable. I couldn't have done it without my family and friends....but more importantly without E....he's my rock in everything that keeps my head level and my focus clear. Here's just a few highlights from 2012...with 2013 promising to have more...
  • I turned 31 and E turned 4...I am a dinosaur...
  • I attended Mac World in San Francisco...and visited Alcatraz and Fisherman's Wharf...way cool
  • Got super close with 4 of my already super close friends....they are absolutely amazing and I miss them DAILY
  • Moved E and I 850 miles away from the home we've only known
  • Bought a new car
  • E decided he was potty trained
  • Spent most of the summer with my sister and nephews...E loves being so close to them
  • Went to CNS and watched Danny race
  • Worked cattle for the first time....which also meant stepping in more cow poop than I've ever seen
  • E played on his first soccer team
  • Flew to Arizona for the first time
  • Slept in a tent....true story
  • Spent the entire month of August away from my baby....longest month of my life!
  • Cried more happy tears and sad tears than ever before
  • E started preschool...and he loves it
  • Got E a puppy
  • Went to our first hockey game
  • Got set up on a blind date for a Fish and Wildlife banquet (you read that right)...and the guy was absolutely THE nicest guy I've ever met
  • Got thrown into Accounts Payable....still learning...but so far I like it
  • Bought my very first house!!!
Nothing to write home about...and I'm sure I'm leaving a ton out....but truth be told it's been a crazy and exciting year. E and I have learned a lot about each other...learned our weaknesses and our strengths...and our love for each other has grown immensely. Without E I wouldn't have made it...and that's a fact. Of course, nowadays everything seems to be related to songs...and this reminds me what's important when I hear it...because that little guy is the reason for everything.

Sometimes it feels like, I’m gonna break
Sometimes this world, gives more than I can take
Sometimes, sunshine gets lost in the rain
And it keeps pouring down
It just keeps coming down.
This life would kill me If I didn’t have you
I couldn’t live without you baby
I wouldn’t want to
If you didn’t love me so much
I’d never make it through
This life would kill me If I didn’t have you
