A Quick Recap of 2013.

Going through pictures from the last year and remembering some of my favorite or most memorable moments I though I'd share some that stood out to me. 2013 was a great year for so many reason's but a extremely hard year that I never saw coming. I'm so glad that this chapter of my life has closed and I'm looking forward to starting a New Year fresh. 

March- I ran my first half marathon. 

April- I went home for spring break & spent the week hanging out with my little brother & family. 

April- I celebrated my 27th birthday with these beauties bc the hubbs was away at school. 

June-Was my first annual swamp poker run. 

June-Spent a week in WV with my favorite people at New River Gorge. 

I did lots of baking through out the year with my new kitchenaid. 

I ran a total of 11 different races during 2013. 

July- Celebrated the 4th with some fabulous friends and great food. 

August- The hubbs picked up his 6th BCT cycle. 

August- I headed back to Texas for my Papa's funeral. I was able to visit family, our God Father, and my other Papa who passed away back in 2002 for the first time. 

October- Went to the SC State fair for the first time, since its been open a total of three times since we've been here. 

November- We celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary and I ran my first full marathon. 

November- Our friends from VA came down for the weekend, the same weekend as our Anniversary.

 

November- The hubbs and I made a trip back to Texas for what has been one of the hardest moments of my life. Saying goodbye to my Mamaw. 

 

November- The hubbs and I celebrated Thanksgiving together at home just the two of us. After I did a little black Friday shopping with my girl B. 

December- We celebrated Christmas Eve with some great friends and then Christmas Day together at home. 

Im not at all sad to say goodbye to 2013 I'm quiet glad to see it go. We had some great times together and def. some hard ones. I've got high hopes and dreams that 2014 is going to be a great year. We've got some big changes ahead of us and I'm excited to see were that leads.

NYE 2013 & 2012 in Review!!!!

The hubbs and I rang in the New Year together in the comfort of our little casa!! Just how we like it!! Back up a few Hours, we went over to a friends house were a couple of us from the unit gathered for some yummy food and good company. We all hung out and chatted a bit and then we all departed and went our own way around 10pm. We were the only ones out of the other 3 couples that didn't have kiddos to get to bed. We came home slipped into some comfy clothes and watched a little TV and of course my favorite part about NYE, watching the ball drop in Time Square. My most favorite place in the world. It was a simply / mellow evening but just perfect for us. Nothing to big and fancy, we were able to go to bed when we wanted and didn't have to worry about driving home or fighting the crowds. I got a fabulous Happy New Years call from my Spouse which I kindly returned the call at 5am my time, midnight her time. She rang in the New Year with us and so of course I had to do the same with her.
2012 was a wonderful year filled with many journey's and experiences that I'll never forget. I can't wait to see what is in store for us in 2013. We'd better make the most of it here in the South because it's our last full year here. It's so crazy to think that this was our last time celebrating NYE in our home here in the South.

Cheer's to a wonderful NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!
