yesteryear

looking back at 2012, these were some of my favorite things...


puppies, babies, nephews, weddings (especially my own), family time, best friends, cousin love, honeymooning, parentals, birthdays.  2012 was a good year.  :)

ringing in the new year

i hope everyone had a wonderful christmas!  ours was filled with lots of love and laughter and tons of time spent with our families.  as always, it ended too soon and i'm sad to have to put away my christmas decorations already.

as the new year approaches, i'm reflecting on this past year and all of the opportunities and experiences it gave me.  2012 was my favorite year because i married my best friend; the past 7 months have been the most wonderful and the most difficult and trying times of my life.  they weren't kidding when they said the first year is hard.  even when you've been together for 8 years already, getting married and moving in with someone is not an easy adjustment.  i won't pretend that our marriage is perfect, or that we are always pleasant with each other and never fight...those closest to us would know i was lying anyway.  but, i wouldn't change it for the world.  i'm so happy to have found my perfect man, the one God created just for me.  and i'm excited to find out what 2013 has in store for us!

insert typical christmas-related title here...

it doesn't really feel like christmastime around here just yet.  we haven't put up any of our decorations.  we haven't gone to get a tree.  i've JUST started listening to christmas music.  i plan to change that.  tonight.  i've got boxes of christmas fun stacked up in my car ready to be dusted off and displayed around our apartment.  tyler is going to be annoyed thrilled about my blasting christmas music and dancing around like a child while we put everything up.  this is my favorite time of year!  i'm ready to get it started!

even though we have been together for 7 christmases (this will be our 8th together), it's different now.  it's our first christmas as a married couple, living together, starting our own little holiday traditions.  it's exciting!  this thing they call marriage is beautiful.  it's hard, challenging, frustrating, and beautiful.  especially right now, during this happy season.

what are some of your favorite holiday traditions?
