Well, I have not been on here in forever... but I wanted to write about the year 2012. Only because it has been the best year of my life. There has been, of course, rough times but 99% of this year has been amazing.
January. Starting right off, I quit my retail management position at CJ Banks and started at Wells Fargo as a loan processer. This was a healthier choice for me and great for pay. Grant and I invested in a new car, and getting rid of the terrible Merc Sable I was pushing around. We bought a 2012 Chevy Sonic. Redish color, and hatchback. A perfect car for me. Perfect. and then... we adopted Cooper. After a few phone calls with his previous temp owner, we made a trip out to Carroll, Iowa. Long drive and we didn't even know if we would bring home Cooper but we were anxious and excited. Right away, Cooper loved us, he sat on our lap and loved us. We were able to sign papers and take jim home that day. We were so excited!!
Februrary. uhm not much this month....
March. Grants birthday was fun as always. Also this month was the 100th anniversary for Girl Scouts so I went to some events for that and just really embraced my blue blood, as they say. Iowa council held a BIG event, which was fun with my daisy girls :)
April. boring month....
May. Michelle and I drove to Savannah, GA for the soujourn reunion... my first time there and I was a complete GS nerd... I mean, freaking out at Juliette's house and the head quarters... just... ahhhh!!!! We took our time there and back, stopping at interestimg things, walking around parks and really enjoying life. I took over 3000 pictures and just loved the scenery. We also went to the beach, which I loved as well!
Also this month- the class I started with at Waldorf graduated. Including Laura. I attended with Grant.
June. We spent lots of time outside swimming as it started warming up :)
I also quit my BN job this month, freeing up more time for me. I spent my Sundays at Camp Sac helping my friend Katie, camp director... only for a few weeks.
Also, Grants brother gets married, as well as my cousin Bryna.
July. Well, biggest month of the year for me. On July 14, Grant and I went bowling with all our friends. He did the planning for this epic event and for a good reason. Grant went to bowl, and fell. I went out to help him and he asked me to be his wife!! WE GOT ENGAGED!!! Made me the happiest girl in the world :)
This month I also start Boot Camp, my brother being the instructor. I did this for about 5 months I think, but got too busy to continue. I learned a lot, gained muscle but gained self confidence.
August. Grant and I celebrated two full years together.
September. My middle brother, Clark married the most wonderful woman in the world. They had an adorable wedding outside and I was their little assistant... I had fun with it, but I was exhausted by nights end :)
October. My 23th birthday. This month my brother died, our family dog Panther past away this month. He was old and the best dog ever. He will be missed but he will always be loved.
November. Thanksgiving... we spent with Grants family, enjoying good food and talk :) I also planned and managed Fall Camp with Girl Scouts.
December. Not much here... shopping with friends, cookie decorating tradition first annual year with Laura... and then the holidays.
Overall, this year was amazing and I cannot say it enough, I am finally growing into this life and its suiting me quite well. I love the people around me and I am so grateful for such great times.
Happy 2012!!!
