2012 is over, friends. That is so strange to me. I had so many things I wanted to say about it, but due to some circumstances that I'll be posting about soon, words just wouldn't come.

2012 was a good year. But I'm definitely ready for 2013. Here's to the new year.
I love reading your blog and how you look at things around you and in your family, thank you for sharing and being real. You had a great 2012. I know we are not close or even know each very well but I love your mom she is the “best mom ever “. I do not have any daughter’s but I now have a daughter-in-law and reading your blog helps me to understand the mind of a young women, being around guys well it has its moments and I do love my guys, but if the truth be known paintball battles, trucks, jeans, burps, drinking out of the jug, etc. can get tiring xD But on the other hand I know when they are all gone, oh how I will miss their presence and all that comes in a boy package. Well just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your post, have a happy and blessed New Years; God has great plans in 2013 stay the course run the race and stay at peace, God is good ~ gina legge
