in one fell swoop.

friday i sat down to write a 2012 recap post.

it took me a few hours to compose.

there were lots of favorite photos from the year.

memories.

stories.

and as i pushed publish it was gone.

i had a major collaption.

{break-down}

i called my Mr. to see if he had a miracle fix.

but nothing.

it was gone.

so i shut my laptop and walked away.

i was mad.

to say the least.

but,

i have had the weekend to get over it.

and think about the post that i had written.

again, the memories of the last year flooded back into my mind.

and mostly my heart.

WHAT A YEAR.

i don't have time to re-write "that" post.

so here is an over-view.

these are just a few of my favorite photos from the year.

 

2012 was life-changing.

i will never be the same.

today, i am happier than i have ever been.

my life is great.

i am married to the man i love.

i love him more everyday.

i am beyond blown away that it is with the man i have been married to for 26 years.

the father of our 4 amazing children.

our story still blows me away.

{i am the most surprised by it still}

we are so happy.

our family is happy.

i love my children beyond explaination.

they are my best friends.

each one so different, creative, and kind hearted.

i have amazing women in my life.

great friends.

true friends who have been by my side through good and bad times.

i have a job that i love.

i work for a company that has integrity.

that allows me to be home and creative.

the best combo.

a job that is family.

2012 was amazing.

so many great experiences.

adventures.

looking forward to 2013.

one week into it and so far so good!

my one little word for 2013 is TRUE.

true:

1.

being in accordance with the actual state or conditions; conforming to reality or fact; not false: a true story.

2.

real; genuine; authentic: true gold; true feelings.

3.

sincere; not deceitful: a true interest in someone's welfare.

4.

firm in allegiance; loyal; faithful; steadfast: a true friend.

5.

being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something: the true meaning of his statement.

 

this year i want to be TRUE to myself.

TRUE to others.

seek TRUE love.

create TRUE friends.

i am looking forward to a new year.

new memories.

new stories to doccument.

pictures to take.

friends to make.

more of what makes my life truely happy.

Happy New Year.

thanks for being here for me.

happy 2013.
