2012 in Review

Wow. 2012 was some year. 

But 2013 will be better.

But before the year officially ends, it's time for a recap. I know Facebook recapped my top 20 moments, but here are my top moments:

#1: Starting the year off with a bang, Eric and I got into a car accident in Seattle. This meant an insurance case, finally settled before the close of the year. 

#2: My Bachelorette Party! 

This event sticks out because there isn't many times that I get to spend with these ladies who all came out for my big day. 

#3: Our Wedding. 

04.30.12

Need I say more? 

#4: Buying our first home. 

#5: Honeymooning in Vegas

We might never go again, but it was a trip to remember. 

#6: Bringing Home our First Puppy.

Meet  baby Caper!

#7: In exchange for a puppy, Eric got a motorcycle. 

#8: one of my favorite trips, away from technology and out in the 'wildernes' with our puppy

Trip to plato Lake

#9 Adding Daisy to our Family

She came to us from the SPCA and our family has never been better. 

#10 Starting my Vulvodynia Treatments

7 trips to Vancouver.

An army of books.

And finally getting the pieces together to feeling better. 

 #11 My close friend Dyan FINALLY married the love of her life, Tristan

#12: I learned to ski. For the very first time. 

Sunday Social

1. What is the best New Years Eve you've ever had?

Hmmmmmmmm....

Ringing in 2011 was a pretty good one.

NYE was more fun with my friends from high school.

since we've all moved apart its become a little over rated.

2. Are you doing anything for NYE this year and if so what?

Doesn't look like. 

Looks like I'll be spending the night cuddled up on the couch watching netflix, eating chicken noodle soup, sucking on halls, and praying that I get better. 

Like last year, there is a 90% chance I'll be without husband for the night. 

3. Name a book we should all read come January?

I started last year off with "The Happiness Project"

and would agree that one should do the same. 

4. What are your new years resolutions?

i think that'll wait till tomorrow.

Bucket List Check

GUESS WHAT I DID TODAY?
accomplished something on my "bucket list"

--- learned to ski ---

it was epic. it was a fun.
Thanks Phil &  Ashley for taking me along!
I am in lots of pain, no worries.
Definitely going to beg hubby to take me to the little hill in town.

In othernews, hubby was harrassing me about my bucket list.
For the New Year, I'm going to recreate a bucket list. I might even frame it.
I'll even write it down!

Seriously. just googled bucketlist looking for a pic for this post --- there's a website to log!

Wordless Wednesday

A simple post to tie off the week. Alright, of all the pictures, I choose this horrible one.

Letters to Santa

Tales and Tails have written letters to Santa from their dogs... I know it sounds silly, but it kind of sounds fun. Just like how i really wish I had taken them for photos with Santa.

Here's one from Daisy.

Dear Santa,

I hope you can find me. I've switched homes from last year, but I'm so very happy at my new home, with my new mom and dad, and even with my obnoxious little brother. I've been a very good girl this. I never get in trouble, and I always come when called. I know there have been a few times I got lost, and a few times I had accidents in the house, but I know my way home, and the vet fixed my leaky bladder.

For Christmas, I want you to bring Caper his own bed. I really don't like sharing the one brown bed we have. He sometimes thinks it's his, but it's really mine. But aside from that, I dont need anything. I don't really like toys and I really don't want any toothbrushes, though I do know that mom and dad would like that very much!

Anyways, I'll try not to wake mom and dad with my barking when you come to visit. Though you'll need to be super quiet and come in when I can't see or hear you.

Always good,
Miss. Daisy.


Here's one from Caper

Dear Santa,

It's my first Christmas. Mom keeps talking about presents and people, and the house looks totally different now. I think I've been nice, but I might have been more naughty. It's not my fault! I'm still a puppy and I'm still learning. I love chewing on things, so for Christmas can you bring me some more toys, maybe some with out stuffing, since mom and dad get angry when the stuffing is sprayled across the floor of the living room. I love the squeakiest ones possible please!

Also, I'm thinking that the best Christmas gift would be training lessons. I don't come when called, and I 'm not very well behaved. Daisy could also use some work and thne mom and dad would love us more.

Let Mrs. Claus know that I don't need any clothes. My poodle coat is warm enough, and I dont want to look ridiculous. how am I supposed to get the ladies?

Thanks! I'll try to be better, and stop chewing and eating on everything.
Caper
