NYE Celebration

Happy 2012 everyone!

I hope that you all got to have as much fun with people you love on NYE as I did.

My weekend half way started early when Mom and Dad got here on Thursday with my furniture. We worked for about and hour and a half but finally got everything moved in. We went to eat after that and then Mom and Dad headed back to the hotel and I started organizing. 2 hours later I crashed.

Friday I headed to work while Mom and Dad went exploring. When the Weleksos arrived we met them and went to dinner. Sadly David couldn't come because it was his worst week of work. After dinner we all headed back to hang out with Ashley and Zach.

Saturday David and I went to lunch with Mom and Dad and then I headed to to Gatlinburg, but we didn't get very far due the massive amounts of traffic. We headed to the outlets to return a few coats. Then David and I went to get ready for his cousins wedding. We met his family at the hotel and headed to the wedding.

The church was beautiful and even though I don't really know the bride and groom they looked as happy as possible. I was also really glad that I got to meet some more of David's family. He has a great family and is very lucky.

Sunday everyone headed back home and I headed to work. I always hate it when everyone leaves, but it always has to happen. I'm just super glad that I got to spend so much time with people I love this weekend.

I am so blessed. Here are a few photos:






2012 Snuck Up On Me

Last year I was super on top of the new year, this year not so much.

I feel like 2012 is going to closely resemble December of 2011. A whirlwind.

This year instead of re-capping everything from every month like last year I am going to say the twelve things I am most proud of myself for doing. (In other words I am going to pat myself on the back.)

1. I made a move with out any real plans because I was following my heart and trusting in the Lord's provision.
2. I stayed in touch with my friends even though we are all living in different cities for the first time ever.
3. Started not one, but two jobs.
4. Didn't cry at a single wedding. (sorry guys)
5. Learned the value of a dollar. This lesson is a hard one to learn.
6. Learned how to be ok with having a breakdown. Sometimes you need to just cry it out.
7. Moved in and out of Apartments 4 times. (Shout out to Dad)
8. Learned that all people aren't going to do the same crappy things that some others have done.
9. Found out that my friends have my back no matter what.
10. Made time to spend with my family.
11. Went to almost all of the Auburn home games.
12. Grew up just a little bit.

I know these aren't very exciting to most people, but they are to me.

I'll be back later with an update on last weekend. I have to upload my photos.
