2012: A Year in Review

In 2012, I...

Completed my last semester at ISU / Went to a Brad Paisley concert / Spent the night without power after a drunk driver hit our power pole / Survived a whole semester with the "cat lady" / Called my professor "Sister" Launspach...oops / Watched a fire overtake Pocatello / Picked up my very own "Spanish" stalker / Celebrated our 23rd and 25th birthdays / Began the second search for a house to purchase / Bought our first home / Began the remodeling stage on our home / Planted grass in our lovely [ugly] front yard / Successfully convinced Jake to do my online Spanish class / Graduated from ISU with a Bachelors of Literary English / Moved into the best ward we have ever been in / Helped Jake transition into his new job / Surprised Jake with cute little Duke onesies to tell him we were pregnant / Had to explain the meaning of the cute little Duke onesies to Jake because he didn't get it / Fought through the nausea and exhaustion of the first few months of pregnancy / Found out we were expecting a special little girl / Quit my job at the hotel after almost 5 years [bummer] / Learned I am the worst "housewife" ever / Went on our family Lagoon trip / Realized my love of baking...but hate of cooking / Went to Sonic almost every day for a month to satisfy my pregnancy craving / Watched every episode of Big Bang / Got new callings in our ward / Became parents to the most beautiful little girl ever / Said goodbye to Maycie Laine "until we meet again" / Fell in love with my husband all over again / Realized c-sections are not fun...at all / Reached two years of "wedded bliss" / Became eternally grateful for my understanding that families are forever / and finally Greeted 2013

Happy New Year. Here's to new beginnings in 2013.
