Happy New Year’s Eve!
This year has just flown by, and almost everyone I know has said they felt the same way. It’s been a year of change, full of new experiences, new adventures, life lessons learned, new perspectives gained, new relationships forged, and old ones strengthened. I can’t help but smile just thinking about the year past. Here are some of my favorites moments captured on “film”.

This blog has been another highlight of 2012 for me and the friends I’ve made through the blog have been such a joy to me over the past year. So as we say goodbye to 2012, my heart is grateful for all the wonderful people who are a part of my life, including the readers, the commenters who brighten my day, and the precious relationships created with people I have not yet “met”. You guys are amazing! I wish that 2013 will be the best year yet for each of you. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you too you beautiful gal! I loved looking over these photos – almost like I was too “re-living” the moments!
You are such a light and I am so happy to have you in my life. I echo your excitement to finally meet up! Woohoo! Have a great night with your fabulous boys! xx
A lot of them were re-used from old posts, weren’t they? I noticed that as I was finding pics.
Such great memories!
Thank you so much! You always bring a smile to my face. So greatful to have met you, dear friend – my cohort in life and bloggy partner in living an adventurous life!

Why, thank you! Established? Oh, how I wish… But I do love photography and try to keep up my amateur status as best I can.
Are you missing all the snow this time of year or have you guys already gotten a bit of the white stuff?
last year we didn’t get a lot (ski area grumpiness) but this year … seems a lot (& c c c cooolllld) –> we are approaching “average” !
