Farewell 2012

OH 2012. What a year you were! You went by SO fast.

I feel like just a week ago I was typing out Farewell 2011 and here we are bidding adieu to 2012. So here it is, a very quick overview of this wonderful year. Of course if you are wishing to delve deeper into my oh so exciting (sarcasm) life in 2012, there are a few (like 145+) posts in 2012 to browse.

- sewed a lot

- worked a lot

- laughed a lot

- learned a lot

This year was really good. There were a whole lot of awesome things that went down. It was our first full year in Austin and it feels so much like home now. And I got to spent everyday loving my husband more than the day before, 2012 was the year of falling hard for Brendon. But then again, I guess that's every year. And everyday. (You are allowed to gag, that was pretty mushy)

I learned a lot about my myself this year and I feel pretty good about it. I'm happy. I'm happy with my life and I'm happy with who I am. These past couple years have turned everything topsy turvy and I love it. I love that I never thought I'd be where I am now. I have no idea what 2013 holds for me, and I love that. But whatever 2013 throws at me, I'm going to make sure it's a good year.

Hello 2012!

Happy New Year to you all! I hope 2012 brings you lots of good fortune and happiness! I have no resolutions, as always, but I am excited for the coming year. Hopefully 2012 will be good to us!

Can you tell we spent the day at work? We look a little less than fabulous I'm afraid.

We spent our New Years Eve at home on the couch watching tv (have you seen that Virgin Diaries show on TLC? Dear lord that one couple kissing/eating each others faces... so awkward). It was lovely. We meandered (I dragged Brendon) outside for a bit to watch some fireworks you could see from downtown and then we barricaded ourselves under blankets on the couch. We had some champagne at midnight and then stayed up until 2am!!! I am as shocked as you are. I've been working evenings these past few days so my sleep schedule is all kinds of jacked. Usually as soon as the sun goes down my body starts getting ready for bed, but lately I've been a little bit of a night owl. Making the switch back will be rough I'm sure, but sleeping in sure is nice.

In literary news, I just finished up the Hunger Games series. Pretty good. Definitely had a hard time putting them down. Very entertaining! I'd highly recommend them. Now I need something new to read! Any recommendations?
