New Year

Well, that was a longer break than I meant to take! I'd intended to blog while on vacation but it was just a hassle. I have some catching up to do now! We got back home last night. Reunited with my cat (and it feels so good). :)

A look back at 2012 on the blog:

What a year 2012 was! My husband's career kind of dominated it as he was switching MOSs (basically his job within the Marine Corps) and that was a long journey! He was gone a lot with various training exercises.  It was definitely a year of patience, growing and learning. Lots of fun times though. That is really what stands out to me when looking back. :) 

I think 2013 will be a great year! So far so good anyway. My husband will be deployed for the second half but I never look at that as a "my life will suck" sort of thing, just a time for me to focus that much more on making life the best I can. I like making yearly bucket lists so here's a look at this years.
