Bring in the New Year!

I'm currently sitting in a parking lot on the outskirts of central London waiting on our friends to join us. We will then catch a tube in, eat dinner, and wait for hours in the rain and cold to see one of the most fantastic firework shows of the New Year! I couldn't be more excited!

Some amazing things happened in 2012, and even more amazing things are to come for 2013!!

In the year two thousand and twelve we celebrated many birthdays! Richard turned 23, I turned 21, Nali turned 2, Athena turned 1, and Rhapsody was born. I learned how to play Bass. We visited France and Germany. We had loving family visit from America causing some amazing adventures. Richards parents met Rhapsody. We managed to move to a new home. Then my father, sister, step-mom and grandma(?) (step moms mom...) all came for a visit. We finally visited Whales! I quit my job to be a mommy. We got an assignment to Turkey for 2013. My best friend got pregnant! (Whoot!) We made new friends and lost some others. Richard and my marriage has grown and is getting better than ever. (Except on Sundays, when we argue about what capo Better Is One Day is supposed to be...) Richard got me playing Skyrim (oh snap! My geek just showed herself!)

The most memorable part of 2012 will forever be giving birth to my beautiful and amazing daughter. I had her in our small home in Brookville, in a little pool with Richard by my side, my friends around me and my mom Skyped in. I will always remember the first time I set eyes on her. My world instantly shifted, changed, became more complicated and more simple all in one moment. My Lord has given me the world by giving me Rhapsody. I have never felt a love as deep as what I have for her.

With the finale of 2012 comes all the hope and expectation of 2013! We will all gain another year of age. A new home. A new adventure is soon to come! I welcome 2013 with excitement and joy!
