Happy New Year....2013....

I can't believe that another year went by in a blink if an eye. it seems as only a couple months ago I was writing New Years 2012.

2012 was a whirlwind to say the least. I'll give you the cliff notes version by months

January:
- We hit the ground running with our annual Anaheim 1 Supercross, that way we can see all of the riders healthy and hopefully no injuries. Most importantly though is to make sure it doesn't rain
-Charleigh Grace turned 4 years old and still as mischievous when she was 4 months old

February:
- Mr. made is arrival into the world on the 8th! I was so excited for him to be born and get to spoil the little man. I fell in love with him in a nanosecond.
-Kick off to cousin Elissa and Steve's wedding! Grandma Jean, Aunt Marti, & Melissa put on a gorgeous intimate bridal shower for Elissa at South Coast Winery in Temecula.
-San Diego Supercross with the usual gang. Man it was cold and drizzly too!

March:
-Ran my 2nd 5k, Finish Chelsea's Run in Balboa Park (participating again this March '13)
-Kick off to Chris & Tash wedding extravaganza!! Had a relaxing afternoon and Jenny's full of lots of laughter, champagne, and wine
-Scratched off going to Baseball Spring Training for Elissa's bachelorette party in Scottsdale, AZ. We rooted for the SF Giants and because of that they won the World Series in October

April:
-Natasha & Josh celebrated her/his last of their 20s
-Steve & Elissa make it official at The Cliffs Resort in Pismo Beach, Ca. A gorgeous wedding and a weekend filled with wonderful memories. I was so honored that she wanted me to be with her on one of the biggest days of her life. E you made a gorgeous bride!

May:
-Maverick Thomas turned 4 years old as well. He was happy it was a warm day and he got to go for a birthday swim in the pool
-Kick off to one of my best friends wedding, Catherine and Scott. Had a nice lunch at Casa Bendini in Carlsbad. I knew from this even alone Ashley, Catherine, & I were going to have a blast at her bachelorette party. The day was perfect day full of laughs, margaritas, THE BEST rolled tacos and tortillas. Also the perfect evening spending it with her family at the beach condo. There are some awesome moments that happened that day, but I think the best was hen C's brother became Capt. Jack Sparrow and telling us he "knows these waters and if we go whale watching we will see whales with him."
-Annual Memorial Day Trip to Lake Havasu with the family...a blast was had by all

June:
I'll start with this is the most EPIC month of the year!
-first was Tasha's bachorlette Brew Tour of 4 different brewies in SD on a party bus stocked full of alcohol
-being able to spend the day with my new sister as she prepares to become my brothers wife. Being able to stand by my Daddy and brother as Chris and Tash became husband and wife is something I'll cherish forever. The wedding was one of the best parties complete with "Smart Water", party bus, and a fun after party at the good ol' VEC bowling alley
-Manhattan Beach for Catherine's Bachlorette Party. A weekend filled with fun, fun, debachary and more fun.. We had more alcohol than ever, laughs, new friendships made, and some epic pictures and stories. Ashley's husband summarized our weekend the best. "Ash, your stuff smells like you went to Las Vegas instead of Manhattan Beach."

July
-I start the countdown of my 20s
-Hadley Marie turns 1 and still thinks she is a lap dog at 97 lbs
-being able to stand as a bridesmaid for my best friend Catherine & Scott became husband and wife. It was gorgeous, the binder worked!!! There was not a single detail missed by Catherine

August
Our only month where we were able to relax and be spontaneous

September
-Took a trip to Los Cabo de San Jose and San Lucas for an early 4 year Anniversary trip. Where did the last 4 years go?!?!

October
-kick off to desert season, Glamis, perfect weather, great friends, and met some new ones

November
-glamis: did 6 days in the dirt for Thanksgiving and had a blast

December
-Spontaneous trip to Big Bear for the weekend. There wasn't any snow but that didn't stop us from having fun. We walked around the little shops and sampled food and drinks.
-coordinated Christmas with both families
