Happy New Year!

2012, though mostly uneventful, has been our best year yet.  Our lives are now defined by the little person we welcomed June 3, 2011.  In 2012, we took her to Disney World, celebrated her 1st birthday, watched her first steps, hear her first words & phrases, and are the recipients of unsolicited hugs and kisses (the best kind!).  On a personal level, Abby began a new job in August, Gary achieved more success in his job, and our house has been personalized and transformed into our true home.  The biggest of the home projects was finishing our basement!  We made a commitment to become our best, healthiest selves and completed a 21-day Ultimate Reset program that resulted in 15 total pounds lost (between the 2 of us) and a new lease on life!

In 2013, we are recommitted to a healthy lifestyle--eating good foods cooked at home, adding fitness as a priority, and saving money for the things we enjoy (home projects, vacations, and special nights out).  We are looking forward to Eliza's first cruise in February, potty-training (really!), finally attacking landscaping, Eliza's 2nd birthday (!), a fall vacation, Abby's 30th birthday (!), hearing Eliza's first sentences, and all the other milestones and fun that awaits our family.

We wish everyone blessings and love for 2013!
