2012 year in review

by eatpraytri on February 14, 2013

First of all…Happy Valentines Day! Whether you think its a stupid holiday created by greeting card companies or you love it and love the day and love chocolate and are just all about loooooveeeeing everything…I hope you have a great day and know that I LOVE you  <3

ok on to the post at hand…..

______________________________

Yeah yeah yeah, I’m a month late (technically 45 days) but you know…..that’s how I roll. I get to it when I get to it. I was considering not getting to it at all, but I find these little recaps are fun (probably more so for me than for you) so I decided to do it after all.

Here we go!

Aside from my kid who is crazy interesting, your year was more interesting than mine. That is all.

My favorite 2012 memory: Can’t decide between these two: 1) Lobos winning the Mountain West Conference Tournament for the first time in recent history, and Frank and I got to experience it with you and Paul. Here’s hoping for a 2013 repeat. 2) Helping you guys move from Seattle to Ridgecrest; great people, great scenery, great memories.
