It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...

It was actually pretty much the best of times... maybe, the year started off a little shaky with me losing my full time job, but we made sure it was all good from there.  Here's some of our highlights from 2013...

• 2.8.13 - I launched my FULL TIME career with Premier Designs Jewelry.
• 2.14.13 - fulfilled a dream of  choreographing CATS with one of the most talented group of high schoolers I have ever worked with.   
• 2.26.13 - I said "yes" to the dress with some help from my mom, my sister {Barbara}, my BFF {Michelle}, and my m.i.l!
• 3.18.13 - I joined a gym {and actually went!}.
• Continued my super fun baking business.
• 4.7.13 - Had a super special {somewhat secret} day with my love.
• 5.22.13 - Celebrated our 3 year "match-iversary".

Looking back on this year makes me feel truly blessed.  Of course it's no surprise that my favorite memory is the wedding and all the fun surrounding it.  It was so special to have so many family members all together at one time in one place and for a truly happy occasion.  I felt more beautiful and more loved than I ever have felt, and Rob and I both think it was a perfect day.  

So what's on the agenda for 2014?  You'll just have to wait and see.  :)  Hoping you all had a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or wonderful whatever else you may celebrate this time of year.  Thanks for reading!
