Let's focus on notable events of the past year, in no particular order.
This happened: my little brother got engaged! I have a sister-in-law-to-be! I will be extremely, extremely happy once they've both said "I do" and I can breathe a huge sigh of relief that Cassy never figured out that she is way out of Cameron's league :) Stay tuned. They got engaged on October 27 (the day after Cameron's birthday), and will be married in July 2014.
This happened/happens: Mia is still very much alive and kicking, and loves to hunt & kill the crayfish in the stream in our backyard! Mia turned 2 this year and is so far showing very few signs of slowing down.
And finally, this happened: Brad, my parents, and I went to ALASKA (or, as Brad likes to say, ARASKA) in July 2012 and had a fantastic time. We climbed on glaciers, saw whales, went kayaking, caught jellyfish, and overall enjoyed our vacation from reality.
Hope you guys had as great of a 2012 as we did!
