tonight, i am ringing in the new year with the hubs, furbaby and chinese take out.
we flew home from new york this afternoon... we had an amazing time but you could not have paid me to stay in times square holding my pee and freezing my buns off for 12 hours to see the ball drop today. it was INSANE how many people were there.
so while this new years eve is definitely a little more low-key than last year, it's exactly where i want to be right now. 2012 was an eventful year, with lots of change and some really good times as well as some really tough ones.
in january, i turned a quarter of a century old.
i had an emotional "job hunt" for the first months of the year, and was a stay at home wife until FINALLY getting offered a job in may.
after confessing my insecurities, i joined a gym and about killed myself in body pump, but became a fan of spin class.
we lost a special family member when greg's papa passed away unexpectedly this summer.
we joined a small group through our church.
we decided to officially {long term} make athens home by house hunting... and ended up deciding to build our first home instead.
we went on a couple football trips... traveling to missouri for mizzou's first game in the SEC and we stayed in jacksonville for georgia/florida
we celebrated the hub's birthday in asheville and went to see a couple of cirque du soleil shows. {michael jacksons immortal tour in july and totem in november with my parents}
and of course, ended the year with the family trip to new york {pictures will be posted this week}!
i am looking forward to the new year, which is certain to bring some exciting things our way.
happy new year, lovies.
may you be blessed in 2013!
Happy New Year, pretty girl!! Your hair has grown so much. & may I say it always looks perfect. No matter what picture I see of you :)

Happy new year!! As a ny resident myself I can't stand Times Square on a regular day so I really can't imagine anyone wanting to be there for NYE!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! You couldn't pay me to stand in that crowd, in the cold, and not being able to go to the bathroom for hours. We had a low-key evening at home too. Just the way I like it! Can't wait to hear about your New York trip!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Lori! Can't wait to see posts about NY! I've never been, but hope to go one day soon! Relaxing with Chinese Take-Out sounds like a marvelous way to ring in the new year! I've enjoyed following along with you this past year and I look forward to continuing that in 2013! Wishing your family the best for this new year!
ReplyDeleteI remember all these things...so I feel like we've been friends this entire year. How awesome!!!
