goodbye 2012..

Spring 2012

We  made so many new friends during this time.

My sister came to visit.

My cousin face[emma] came to visit me.

My very best friend Taniya came to visit.

I started prepping to sew a dress.[will finish in 2013, fingers crossed]

Baby Clare celebrated her first birthday.

Summer 2012

Retore my acl by running to first base & being crushed by a big dude in softball.

Hit up some serious killer finds at estate sales.

Went to the beach with my family.

Shea & experienced the greatest loss we could've ever imagined.

The Mckee's, Robby, Shea and i went white water rafting.

Met my new amazing friend katie!

Fall 2012

The twins started school & i stopped watching them.

I worked a little less hours a week. :)

My mommy came to visit again!!

Robby came to be our new room mate!

I had a super successful craft show.

Discovered my love for audiobooks & have already finished two!

Learned how to knit.

Winter 2012

Shea was offered & accepted a new position in New Castle, Pa.

With a huge help from Jesus we found a house to live in New Castle.

I won a giftcard for a free massage i will be getting after our move.

Went to NYC during christmas time w/our bffs.

Saw & won cheap tickets to newsies!!

Finally got a Wanda Teel painting!

Had two weeks off work to begin our packing adventure.

At this current moment i think i am experiencing every emotion possible.

i would love to just bundle all that i love and take it to new castle with me.

Moving is a tough business in so many ways.

i am so excited for 2012 to be over. it was 110% my hardest year, ever.

i am ready for a new start this year.

i am taking a more backseat approach this year.

more down time. more me time. less crazy running around.

Four years of running crazy caught up to me hard this year.

so 2013 let's be restful and full of joy, k?

ok good, let's go! 

2011 gone but not forgotten...

2011 in review..

spring of 2011

began in the south with shea's family and our brand new nephew, cole.:)

next i helped welcome baby clare into the world by caring for her brother.

she has forever changed my views on babies...thanks clare.

the twins turned a year old and began turning into little boys.

summer of 2011

began on a sad note for my family but a happy note for my grandpaw & Jesus.

my sweet grandmother went to live with Jesus and see Grandpaw again.

i still miss her but i am glad she is no longer lonely or in any pain on earth.

henry turned 3 & i turned him into a mini astronaut.

i turned 26 this summer and i don't feel any older.

my antiquing and thrifting def was at its best during this summer.

fall of 2011

the biggest change for our family came during this time.

we moved into a real home. one with space and a yard and a roomie.

whom we have come to love as one of our family.

we found a new church family to worship with & i couldn't imagine life w/o it.

the fall also brought lots of visitors which was great![i love company]

my mom came & met all my kiddos & fell in love just like me.

i finally was able to visit my sister in nashville.

also our family thanksgiving was a great one this year.

*note to self for next thanksgiving don't go anywhere in a car once you get to your fam.

winter of 2011

this winter has been a warm one but full of adventures.

shea began a new job.

we had our first christmas in the new house which felt a lot like christmas

in my house growing up. i loved that.

i displayed my grandmother's vintage glass christmas tree.

it got so many compliments which allowed me to talk about her, love.

i learned a lot this year. this year had lots of ups & downs.

the Lord is def doing big things in me and i cannot wait to see

what's next...here we go 2012.
