2012 in a Nutshell... {and Happy New Year!}

Posted on the 31 December 2012 by Thenigottothinking @tracyzlesh
2012 was a good year! It's hard to believe how quickly it sped by, but that seems to be how life is going lately... flying by. A lot happened this year... and I love being able to look back through my blog and see some of the highlights...
My nephew Adam was born in March...
I attended my first local blogger meet up...
and I hosted another meet up for bloggers in May.
Celebrated my Birthday with my closest friends and family... & TL threw me a surprise party!
Celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary in Istanbul, Turkey!
My bunco girls and I wrapped up 2 years doing our monthly buncos... still going strong!
I wrapped up my second year working for a non profit - something I love.  I also helped plan our biggest fundraiser of the year in October!
I did some traveling... 
starting with Kauai in February with our friends Justin & Sabrina...

Carmel to visit TL's mama in March

Minneapolis in April for a conference for work with my boss

Maui in June with my family and grandparents...

Los Angeles in July for a girls trip with friends from college
And then we took off to Europe for almost 3 weeks... starting in Helsinki, Finland!

Then to Stockholm, Sweden...

Next stop... Copenhagen, Denmark 

Then off to Berlin, Germany...

And wrapped up our Europe trip in magical Istanbul, Turkey! 

In December... I made another trip to LA to see the girls

In September... I was able to tell TL the news he's been waiting to hear... we're expecting Baby Lesh, due May 27th, 2013!!!
And on December 12th, we found out this little baby growing in my belly and most certainly already in our hearts is a GIRL!
2012 was filled with many ups and some downs... but overall, it was a year to remember.  I realize more and more as the years go on just how much I love the people in my life.  I feel very blessed and am more grateful than I have ever been.
Thank you for following and reading along on this little journey of mine.  It's hard to believe I have had this little blog for more than 4 years.  It's so wonderful to be able to look back!
I hope you have a wonderful celebration bringing in 2013 CHEERS to a fabulous YEAR!
