2012 has been good to me!

2012 has brought us a series of new adventures. The funnest has been home ownership! We just love having our own house. When you own something, as opposed to renting, little things change. For example, when I had previously lived in apartments, I would step over litter on the sidewalk. Not anymore. Some hobo left a cheetos bag on the ground? I don't want garbage in front of my house! Quincy just LOVES the fenced in yard in the back! Andrew and I love it, too- especially on those chilly evenings when we just open the back door to let him out to do his business, and just wait for him to jump on the door to ask to come back in.
2012 has also brought the adventure of graduate school. I have a love/hate relationship with grad school. It is much harder than I expected, but I love what I'm learning. And my 4.0 GPA says that I'm pretty good at it (though with my 4.0, I have set the bar pretty high).

2012 has had a lot of love in the air. We were able to celebrate 2 weddings with live long friends.

Wishing everyone years of happiness. We enjoyed several weekends away. We had a fun trip to Cleveland and Wooster in Ohio for a wedding, and a fun filled night in Erie, PA on the way home for my birthday.
We also had a trip to Philadelphia, Washington DC and Cape May, NJ (a week before Sandy hit) and made some great memories.
And we're ending the year with days jam packed with friends and family- the glue that keeps me together. 2013- it's going to be hard for you to top 2012, but I have faith in you- you're going to be great!!
