Bye Bye 2011

Hello 2012!!  the last few weeks of 2011 were spent doing a little traveling (New York & Seattle), shopping, watching movies, a few days in school, eating lots of food, and enjoying life...as usual :)
I can't believe it's been a little over a year ago since my very first blog post.  A lot has happened this year, although, I think 2010 has 2011 beat as far as being super eventful.  2011 held many good experiences, first times, last times, a little traveling, a lot of new people, some ups, some downs, a few scary moments, a TON of exciting moments, and overall..I am happy with life.
2012 will also be full of new, exciting experiences.  I can't believe I will be 24 years in just a few short months, just a minute ago I was turning 23...2011, where did you go??  I will be finishing school in July.  Looking forward to some serious traveling after that :)  We will be celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary this year!!  Gabriel will be turning two years old (wow).  Henry will be turning 1 year old, sometime in the spring or summer, and hopefully will be moving out of the basement to big, wild outdoors. hehe  We will have lived in our place for a whole year, that's a big deal, considering the last few years :).  Looking forward to starting my career.  Can't wait for the warm weather to roll around, MORE time on the motorcycle.  We both might start taking flying lessons...working toward a pilots license.  I definitely want to get my motorcycle license.  Planning a cross country road trip after I graduate, CAN'T wait for that :o)....lot's of plans and things to look forward to this year.

-Be more conscious of the things I say

I need to catch up...

So...Independence Day weekend, a very special person in my life came to spend the weekend with me.  We had a party on Sunday the 3rd at  The Aqua , which was a lot of fun.  Monday we drove down to Indiana and I stayed there all week with some friends from my "home town."  Thank you Ashlen and Austin ♥.  I went down in preparation for my sweet friend's wedding on Saturday, July 9th.  I was a bridesmaid in the wedding...and wanted to be there to help set things up with her and her family. So...I plan to write more about my experiences the last few days..but right now I am stressed for time.  So I will post some photos until then.

this time last year..

This time last year my husband, our pup, and I were living in a tiny little truck bed camper in the middle of NO MAN'S land California.  Our energy was powered by a generator that we had to fill with gas every single day, and our heat was powered by propane tanks that were so old we could hardly find a place to get them filled.  Thanksgiving was a cold, gloomy, rainy day and we were stuck inside all day.  We tried to cook food on our tiny stove, but it was by no means a traditional Thanksgiving.  We watched movies almost all day and played with our pup, who was still new to us.  I was so heart broken, I could hardly see straight.  He held me together when I felt like falling to pieces.  I had a lot to be thankful for, I had my health, my husband, I had food, family...you know, all the things we are always used to having.  I was still so sad.  I wanted to spend the holiday cooking, eating, spending time with the people I love, being comfortabl...
