Summarizing 2012

2012 brought me a lot of blessings, a lot of hardships, a lot of trials, a lot of joy and a lot of of discovery.

Firstly, I was given a beautiful baby girl. She keeps me on my toes everyday but her presence is truly precious.

I accomplished traveling a total of 45 hours with just me and the two kids to spend a wonderful 5 weeks with my friends and family in New Zealand.

Mav moved to a new apartment while we were in NZ for the second time.

This year I also gained more freedom by finally getting my drivers license.

And we bought a minivan.

I leaned how to balance two kids and cook and (not so much) clean for four.

I trained a child how to use the potty (and I hated it!)

I watched an infant grow into a toddler...

I coexisted with a hardworking opinionated loving handsome mr. right who I love eternally. And we celebrated our 4th year wedding anniversary this year.

I took thousands of pictures to remember thousands of wonderful memories, had many sleepless nights, kissed hundreds of owwies, changed lots of diapers, wasted lots of time on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram, did the 60-day Insanity workout, learned how to sew on a sewing machine, tried to be crafty to maintain my sanity, cooked more, cleaned more, enjoyed the outdoors more and prayed more.

So with that, well wishes to everyone! 
Hoping that your 2013 is full of blessings, happiness, good health and
more precious memories.
