2013...A Year in Review

2013 was the craziest year of my life so far...here are a few things I want to remember:

Many different vehicles
Moving out of my townhouse
Renting the townhouse

Haleigh's dance recital
Several Trips to Carolina Beach
July 4th at the Lake
Brewsfest with friends
NYC trip with Grandma
Redecorating Haleigh's room
Trip to Colorado
The Holiday's
And some not-so great happenings that I won't mention

Overall, the year definitely delivered a wild ride and one that I will never forget or regret. Looking forward to starting a new year and learning more about myself and the married life! Happy New Year everyone!

I got a very generous Christmas present from my husband this year which will make my blogging fun return!! I've had fun making some changes and Katie is always inspiring me to get back at it and it helps me use my creativity and will hopefully help me get back in to photography. 

I'm going to update with a few pictures of course! At the beginning of December Haleigh was a penguin in her school Christmas play. She was super excited about it and I was so proud! 


Adam, Haleigh and I have been playing a lot of cards so I tried to capture a game they were playing and I also got her her own personalized deck of cards for Christmas that she was so excited about! 




My mom invited Haleigh and I to a Nutcracker Tea at a local hotel the O'Henry. We joined my mom and niece Ava and my mother-in-law also came. We had a blast! They had a ballroom decked out in the Nutcracker Theme with the Greensboro Ballet and Christmas goodies. We had a wonderful time and the girls had a blast sipping hot chocolate, making ornaments, and decorating gingerbread houses. 





And of course Haleigh and I made some Christmas cupcakes and Adam and I had Tonto groomed and had a perfect selfie in the car! And then with all of my family in town we had the perfect photo op with my Grandmother and all of her Grandkids! 





Now, with a new year coming up I am praying and hoping for a wonderful 2014!
