2013!

Wow, I am a really horrible blogger! I didn't do a single blog post in 2012. Part of the problem is I don't know how to easily post pictures onto the blog and I don't like to do a post without pictures. But I am really going to give it some effort this year- call it a New Year's resolution. I really enjoy reading other people's blogs, so I'm going to try to do at least one post a month on here. Baby steps, right? Here is a quick year-in-review from 2012. It has to be brief because I still haven't figured out the picture thing!

Ok, so it was more than a few pictures, but I think I finally got the hang of it! I just need to figure out how to move the pictures around now. Happy New Year everybody! Keep checking back for more updates!
