This is the post where I recap the year and tell about the things on my '30 before 30' list that I accomplished and share my 2012 highlights.
Well, funny...
....because while this was probably one of the most eventful years of my life...
I don't think I checked one thing off my '30 before 30' list.
Ok, I don't think I didn't...I really didn't.
Ok, I don't think I didn't...I really didn't.
So goes life...
Normally I spend half this post reflecting on my '30 before 30', but I'm going to skip out on that this year. I feel like that 'ambition' of mine deserves a post of its own at this point...which will be coming soon.
Instead, I will focus on the 2012 recap...(which will be fun for me since I pretty much didn't blog about anything that happened in 2012. Thank you, pregnancy)

February
Oh, lovely February.
I turned 28 this month...and celebrated my birthday nauseated on the couch.
My birthday was the first day I threw up from pregnancy, so that was an awesome birthday present.
But, less than two weeks later, we got to see our baby for the first time and hear that little heartbeat. Made all the morning sickness worth it.
The next day we took a trip down to San Luis Obispo for a couple's weekend with two of my best friends from college.
March
We closed on our house on the 15th!
And then moved in with my parents for three weeks while we re-modeled our place.

We spent the next few weeks making countless trips to Home Depot, Lowes, Kelly Moore, Carpet One, granite stores, etc. Ugh. (Extra ugh when you feel like you're going to puke)
Sober champagne tasting in Napa for my friend Catie's bachelorette.

And then at the end of the month we celebrated Catie and Craig's wedding.
April
We facebook announced our pregnancy on April 1st.
No April Fool's joke there.
And the next day we 'celebrated' our one year wedding anniversary.
(By celebrated, I mean we went to Thai food because that was all my nauseous body could take and then hungout with my parents since we were living with them). Basically, my birthday and our anniversary need a big redo in 2013!
On April 7th, we moved into our place. Hooray!
Two of my friends got married in April, also.
Janet and Jeff's wedding
Chrissy and Matt's wedding

We had our 20 week ultra sound and found out we had a healthy baby.
The next day, we had a gender reveal party with our families...

Jason's cousin got married in Tahoe.
We went to a Giant's baseball game with my college friends.

Amazing! When I dealt with morning sickness thanks to our son (born in August this year) one of the few things I could eat was Thai food, also! You have a beautiful family :)
