When last I wrote, Bob and I were looking forward to 2012 - here are the updates:
- New challenges and opportunities at work - We enjoyed some of these, but perhaps not as many as we might have like. Onward!
- A hugely successful (and hopefully final) surgery for our nephew - HOORAY! The nephew's surgery was a great success and he is doing very well!
- Finally undertaking long-neglected home improvement projects - kitchen, windows, doors, walls, ceilings, lighting, etc. - It is done! After many years of dreaming, we finally have a brandy new kitchen + many updates to the living area, and we love it!
- Two - or perhaps three - big family weddings - My cousin's son and his new bride, and my sweet niece and her new husband celebrated their nuptials with loads of family; ourselves included. Fun times!
- Unprecidented vacation time with some of our favorite people (to include our first trip to Canada!) - We spent a gloriously relaxing week with S. and D. in Vermont. It was beautiful, though we did not venture into Canada. Next time, perhaps.
- Planning and saving for our 15th anniversary trip to Germany (2013)! - We decided against Germany for several reasons, but we have begun planning the trip for this summer. We'll wave hello to you as we travel through the great northwest by train!
- And, perhaps, a renewed interest in writing... ? - This one obviously didn't pan out. Perhaps 2013 will bring a change of heart? You never know.
