As 2012 is coming to end, we all spend some time reflecting on all that has happened in our lives over the last year. This past year has been full of memories, experiences, excitement, and trials. I have noticed that as my life has gotten busy, my blogging has seemed to go by the wayside — it has been two whole seasons since I have blogged — yikes! In the 6 months since I have blogged, I have:

- Written and defended my thesis

- Bought a house

- Gotten married

- Started a new job

I would like to blog about all these experiences, but that will have to wait until after the new year — stay tuned for an influx of blog posts. I can say though that as the year closes I am starting to look toward the new year and see what 2013 will bring with it.

I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year! May 2013 be rung in with a bang!
