HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2012 sure was one heck of a year, filled with highs and lows, joys and woes, and everything in between. I feel silly saying lows and woes, because I really am such a blessed girl. It’s been more a year of adjustments, and I’d say we wrapped it up considerably more adjusted than I anticipated.

I am just so happy Chuck and I had a full year (minus one month) to live and grow together in NC. I found a job, some friends, and now have a niche to call my own before Chuck leaves for the better part of 2013. For that much, I am endlessly grateful.

With the exception of coming down with a nasty cold to shake things up, my holiday break was delightful. Plenty of old friends, generous gifts, lively parties, comfort food, and even a pretty snow shower. We got home last night and I must say that despite the good times back home, I am LOVING being back in my own bed, and not living out of a suitcase. It’s nice to be back at work too 🙂 Despite my constant sinus headaches and stuffy nose, 2013 is off to a fabulous start!
