It’s New Year’s Day 2013; time to take a look back at last year.
Looking through the “My Pictures” folder on this laptop, we definitely did a lot as a family. We went to the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve a few times (and bought memberships), we visited the Please Touch Museum (and bought a membership). We went to carnivals, petting zoos, museums, and airports. We saw planes, trains, animals, and cars.
It was an interesting year at work. I went from Security SME to PM on the contract I was hired onto in 2011, and this honestly has probably been the most difficult PM spot I’ve ever had. My customer is a challenge, and at times my team is even more of a challenge. On the bright side, 2012 also saw my graduation from University of Maryland — it took long enough!! 
I am a year older. John is a year older. Carrie is a year older.
I’m not into New Year’s resolutions because snap judgements in favor of change never work, but this year I want to get things under control a little bit more. Dinner on the table at a reasonable hour. Eating meals as a family. Spending more time with my extended family and friends. No more laundry marathon Saturdays.
Here’s to a new start for a new year. I hope that God blesses all of you with peace and contentment.
