Thanks for a great year, 2012!

2012 was a pretty good year for me. Some downs, but nothing too significant. It was a year of mosoly ups. One of my favorite things is travel. If I could find a way to travel professionally, I would. The last 12 months have included some pretty great trips.

February - Laughlin, Nevada
This isn't a far or fancy trip but it's always a nice getaway. It's a gambling town on the Colorado River - a mini Vegas essentially. I went with Tiffany of Polka Dotted Cats to celebrate her twin sisters' 21st birthday.


Again, me and Tiffany traveled together. This time to the Big Easy. Unfortunately we found the cool stuff right before the trip ended. I hope to visit again in 2013 to see a Saints game with Claire of Bicoastally!


Headed to with Kathrin of Shop.School.Sleep. to Tiffany's for a birthday weekend! Highlights included Sea World, playing tourists in the city, and celebrating my 29th with great friends.


Back to Nevada with Kathrin. This time it was to Vegas for her little sister's 21st birthday. Hands down one of the best Sin City trips I've ever been on. Shopping, great food, and celebrating in style all weekend.


October - Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney, Australia
This trip was for work and although it was a lot of work and little sightseeing I am lucky to have had the opportunity. Three full weeks working Down Under and seeing what sights I could - including beautiful beaches and adorable animals.


November - Chicago, Illinois
The Ultimate Weekend Update! I had an amazing time and made IRL, life-long friends with Dana of five30three, Sami of Sami's Shenanigans, and Chris of Chubbette Tales. We literally group text on a daily basis and these girls are my fav.


Pretty good, eh?! I hope 2013 is even a fraction as amazing as 2012 was. Here's to a year of health, happiness, and lots of travel!

Amazing travel year! I'm totally serious about coming up here for a weekend! Also, San Diego MIGHT be in our future this spring for a few weeks while Jacob works. Maybe. We have no idea really, we're just hoping for it. It would be so fun to be in the same state as you!
