I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the New Year!  January was a busy month getting back in the swing of things!  And now it’s February!!  Time is flying!  I’m so excited to dive into 2013.  Lots of things in store!
One of my favorite things to do this time of year is compile my favorites from the prior year.  I love to take this time to reflect.  And after going through these sessions, I’m reminded what a great year 2012 was.  I’m also reminded how much I love what I do.  I met so many incredible couples and families, and I’m extremely honored I was given the opportunity to capture these moments in their lives.  THANK YOU!  I am so grateful for all of the love and support.
On a personal note, 2012 will also have a special place in my heart because my niece, Avery, celebrated her first birthday!  She has been all kinds of fun.  Every day I feel like she’s learning something knew.  From walking, to counting, saying the alphabet, putting together puzzles.  She is by far the best thing ever.
Two of my best friends got married in 2012, Kasie & Jeremey and Jenni & Tim.  Which meant mini reunions!! 🙂  I am beyond happy for you, Kasie and Jenni!  Congrats to the newlyweds!
I participated in the 2012 Huntsville Business Expo!  It was my first time ever having a booth.  Quite the learning experience!  I am so proud of how it all turned out.  And I met so many wonderful people from it.  Thank you, Chamber of Commerce, for the opportunity!
I celebrated my 26th birthday!  It was blue sky and sunshine.  Alex and I spent the day in Birmingham and ate at Richard Blais’ (shout out to Top Chef fans!) restaurant, Flip Burger.  It was better than delicious.
Another best thing came along towards the end of the year.. Alex and I welcomed a furry friend to our family.  Our new furry friend is Dax! He’s a Yorkie and just turned 5 months old!  I am head over heels for this little guy.  He’s a ball of energy, but knows how to cuddle.  Loves giving kisses.  Loves people, leaves, anything that moves.  My favorite thing about him is that when the sun comes in, he’ll find any patch of light, bring all of his toys to the light, and lay there for hours.  He also likes looking in the mirror 🙂 When we first got him, one ear stuck up!  Those are my favorite pictures of him.  I could go on forever!  He’s been a real treat and we’re so happy to have him!
Everyone, here is a look back on 2012!

Thank you for making 2012 ah-mazing!!!

Happy Birthday, Emily! Emily turned 1 year old today 🙂 Do you remember this sweet little girl? I first met Emily when she was 6 months old. She got so old on me!! Her toothless smile was no longer. I had the pleasure of spending the day with Emily and her family last weekend at Tate Farms to celebrate! It was blue skies and sunny! The perfect fall day. Cupcakes. Pumpkins. Corn pit. Cotton. There was never a dull moment! Thank you Erin, Matt and Emily for having me come out!
