Adrienne and Co.: Happy New Year, 2013!

I can’t believe that a whole year has passed since my last year-end letter….I’d say that all in all, 2012 was much better than 2011, and I can’t wait to see what 2013 holds!
At the beginning of last year, I was able to participate in an internet 5 week long “blog party” that Bramblewood Fashion put on- that was a lot of fun, and my blog got a lot of attention, both in the US and the rest of the world!
I also reached my 300th blog post, and celebrated with giveaways, and got a few new “blog friends”!

We did not travel a lot this past year, but on one of our little trips Mom, Grandma, and I went down to Austin for a day , for Mom’s birthday~ that was fun! (I can’t wait to do something like that again!)

I had some firsts this year:
(things that I “needed” to do to be a "well rounded" individual)
1. I’ve now got 1 ½ Sisters In Law
2. ½ a 13 yo nephew
3. I watched: “Grease”, “American Graffiti”, "Good Morning, Vietnam",
“Gallipoli”, “South Pacific”, “Mash“, “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”, “Leave it to Beaver”.
(FYI: I have NO desire to re-watch those first 5.)

Some highlights of my year:
1. I had both of my brothers home for my birthday!
2. My health is improving, thanks to Mrs. Cronin & Mom
3. I’ve been working as a caregiver for Grandma H.
4. Mom and I are better friends than ever
5. I attended my 2nd Ball/Dance
6. My folks have been married for 30 years
7. I am the proud owner of blue jeans that are actually long enough for me! (that was no easy feat!)
8. Sophie came to live with me!

~Get completely moved in
~Make a snowman
~Have a fun 28th birthday party
~Make time for sewing/creative fun every week
~Have one get together/party every month
~Learn to drive
(if I write these down will they be more likely to happen?)
