07. Did you have any encounters with the police?
Nope.
08. Where did you go on vacation?
I went to Boston with Andy when he had a work trip. Not so much a vacation as he was gone during the day and I worked from the hotel room, but we did have fun in the afternoon/evenings. Camping in the Adirondacks in July. We also visited my dad in Massachusetts for a week in September.

Burn Notice, Sherlock and Alias on Netflix. Also The Walking Dead and Revolution.
16. Are you registered to vote?
Yes I am. I voted this year but was disappointed I didn't get a sticker ;-)

In our little yellow ranch house.
18. Describe your birthday.
I don't remember, haha. I guess 26 wasn't that exciting!
19. What’s one thing you thought you’d never do, but did in 2012?
See question #2.
20. What has been your favorite moment?
Oh goodness, I don't know. It's been fun watching Ben grow into a toddler!
21. What’s something you learned about yourself?
I can do it. Whatever it is...lose baby weight, get physically stronger than I've ever been, work part time and still be mom, start reading books again.
22. Any new additions to your family?
Kind of, although baby #2 won't actually be born until July 2013.

Maybe September when we visited my dad and Leslie in MA. It was cool to see my dad make the rank of Colonel. Andy and I had a few fun dates while family babysat Ben.
24. What was your worst month?
I can't really pinpoint a terrible month. A few crummy things happened this year but I don't think any month was worse than another.
25. What music will you remember 2012 by?
AC/DC. It sounds silly but every time Andy and I were on some adventure in the car together, one of their songs would come on the radio.

Andy I suppose.

I've gotten to know a few of the ladies from the Y a bit better.

Any date night with Andy is fun, we don't do them that often.
30. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? Happier

iii. richer or poorer? Poorer, pretty much dumped the savings to buy our new car.
31. What date from 2012 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
I think Thanksgiving this year was pretty memorable. We told family we were expecting #2 over dinner. The weather was gorgeous and Ben got to ride the gokart with Andy. It was just a ton of fun to hang out with family that weekend.
