2012 Baby!

Happy 2012!


2011 - Not my favorite year by any means!! It started out full of change and self-searching/questioning. By the end of March my world changed coarse officially and it started looking up from that point on! I really can't complain - I have it SO good and I'm very thankful for that! I'm happy, truly happy and pleasant to be around (at least that's what my parents & Jack tell me, haha!), and I am less stressed with my job. Now grad school...well, that's a totally different story!

January - I feel like it's been a month of food. Not like over-eating or anything, but more like us planning meals ahead of time better than we ever have, using our slow-cooker as much as possible, and eating actually healthier meals than we were. It's been a fun month and we've finally had SNOW!!! It made me want to re-do Christmas all over again just because we finally had the snow that Christmas is supposed to have!

I hope all of your 2012's started out fabulously and that you will be blessed with a fun, healthy, and memorable year ahead!

Jan 1 - Egg Harbor Breakfast at home! You can order online, select your pick-up time and pick it up all ready to go for you! This is a favorite thing Jack and I like to treat ourselves to every once in a while on a Sunday.

Jan 2 - Grandma's 87th Birthday!! My Grandma is one of the most amazing people I know - she's really done it all...and for a lot of things, she's done it twice! She is the spunkiest, funniest, and most adventurous older lady I know! I only hope to have an ounce of what she's got when I am 80-something!! Keep it up Grandma!! Love you!!

Jan 3 - All About Me Projects - finishing up grading all 62 of them (they're each 14 pages)!! How did you spend your winter break?! haha...

Jan 4 - I love all the Christmas cards that filled our home this year! We're so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family in our lives!

Jan 10 - Spot It! A great new game we've found - finally got it in the mail, as all game stores in the area were sold out! Apparently lots of others are enjoying this game as well!!

Jan 11 - Beef stew night! Mmmmm!!!

Jan 12 - Tortilla soup!

Jan 13 - Sadie playing in the snow! It was the first big snow of the winter season and Sadie was ecstatic! This girls LOVES the snow! We have the hardest time telling if she really has to "go-out" or if she just is faking us because she wants to play in the snow!

Jan 14 - Mexican chicken and rice!

Jan 15 - Fruit kabobs made and ready for an afternoon of football with our good friends!

Jan 16 - Chili! OMG - this was my favorite thing we've made so far from our new recipes we're trying out!!

Jan 18 - Salad night, one of my favorites!

Jan 19 - Sadie discovering a pin cushion for the first time! She's so curious and it's just adorable to watch her.

Jan 20 - Jack and Sadie coming in from the snow - what a cute pair!

Jan 21 - Tree covered in snow!

And just a little over a week to go and it's already February! ....Where does the time go?? Seriously!!! ...But part of me is ready for summer, haha!! :)
Cheers, everyone!!
