I haven't really been thinking about the new year...if it weren't for being off work tomorrow and having late night Monday plans with friends I think I would forget entirely that it's almost 2013. I haven't made any resolutions or thought at all about things I'll accomplish next year. My thoughts are completely centered around getting work all settled for maternity leave, being ready to go into labor (as ready as one can be), meeting the Pops, becoming a mom, and our lives changing drastically. I don't think January 1, 2013 will be any sort of a new beginning...I think whatever day this child is born in January will be the real day that matters to us.
However though, I am all about reflecting...and 2012 has been such a great year. Packed with lots of change, but so good. Married the best boy, took fun vacations, bought a house, (accidentally) conceived the Pops, and really just thoroughly enjoyed every day of life with Devin.
Here are some of my favorite shots of life in 2012...

| This was Jan 2012 - all I can think about is how skinny I look. But I guess everyone seems skinny to me these days. :) |
 |
| Hot date! |
 |
| Family vacation in July |
 |
| I didn't actually take this photo...but it's so good of my parents! It's been quite the year for them - each having a hospital stay. Praying for no more of that in 2013! Love and appreciate my parents so much! |
 |
| Sweet Os! He's grown so much since this photo and just keeps getting cuter! |
 |
| Pops at 13 weeks |

| Pops at 21 weeks |

| College friend weekend in October - so much fun! |
 |
| Sisters...always a highlight to every year of my life! |
 |
| My Grandma G - the dearest of women. |

| Best Friday night ever! |
Well, I could find tons of other pictures to post from 2012 that I love, but I'll leave you with one of my most favorites...
Doing life with this guy has exceeded my expectations in every way possible. I can't believe I ever enjoyed life without him! In all this drastic change in such a short time, two things keep me sane - the sovereignty of God and the amazing husband he gave me. And even though I still mourn that our married without children stage was so short - I know a year from now I'll be saying I can't imagine how I enjoyed life without H or S (well, let's hope so anyways). Oh and 'H or S' are the initials of our child's name (dependent on gender) - you can surmise as you wish. :)
Happy 2013!
