...and a happy new year!

This has been a really fun year. It FLEW by!! Of course the biggest highlight of this past year was seeing Henry grow up. [I still can't believe he's one...].

Other highlights:

+Maternity leave! I got to spend about three months at home with Henry after he was born. I didn't go back to work until the beginning of March. That time off with my little snuggly buddy was amazing. Going back to work was really hard, but it was for a good cause.
+I turned 25...weird
+Lots of visits to see my family in arizona, or vice versa (one of the most epic visits caught on film here)
+One of my best friends, Sarah, got married and i was a bridesmaid. Coolest couple ever.
+Our city was on fire. Frightening.
+I dyed my hair purple. And then cut half of it off.
+I flew in a helicopter for the first time.
+We visited our bffs Emily and Dave in ohioooo
+Our bffs Jeff and Darci had their second baby, Warren, and i'm kind of in love with him (shh)!
+We spent thanksgiving in arizona
+We all got spoiled for Christmas
+This year alone we've paid off 84% of our student loans and medical bills. PHEW!!!

as usual, i've grown a lot this year. as shown by me dwarfing this recliner...

I haven't really thought of new years resolutions yet... I just know I want to become a stay at home mom this year :) And hopefully, in the meantime, finish paying off the remaining 16% of our student loans. If I come up with any more [resolutions, not debt], maybe I'll do a new post on it ;)

Hope your New Years is fun and safe!! HAPPY NEW YEARRRR!!!!
