Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013

For those of you that don't know, I got a job!  The convenient part is that it is the exact same job I was doing in Phoenix (working at a spa), but this time I "upgraded" and will be working at a Ritz.  But honestly I don't really care about that part, I'm just glad I'll be bringing in an income. I was kind of wanting to go down a different career path, but beggers can't be choosers, so this will do for now.

Today was my first day at work and it was....interesting.  In vague trying-not-to-say-too-much terms, let's just say that it is going to be a big adjustment in more ways than I expected, and I hope changes can and will be happening in the near future.  

So tonight, we reflect on what a good year it has been to us, and look to the future in hoping that it'll be memorable too. How are we celebrating tonight?  Sleeping! We considered being adventurous in DC, but naaahhhhh....New Year's has notoriously been pretty lame and just a disappointment year after year for the most part, so now I don't really bother going out of my way to do anything spectacular.  Maybe things will be different in the years to come, but this night, is not that night!

Have a safe and Happy New Year, you crazy animals.

A good start

Call me pessimistic, but I'm actually quite glad that 2011 is done and gone for good. The year wasn't exactly down right horrible, it just wasn't one of the better ones that I have experienced. With that said, I'm glad to say that this new year of 2012 has been a good one so far. One notable happening, is that Wolfgang just got his first promotion, and today I started a new {and better paying} job! We are both working at our same hotels, just a promotion and I transfered departments. This is a very good change for the both of us, and we look forward to seeing what happens in the future.

Yesterday we also got back from a quick trip to Vegas. We were able to enjoy the brief company of family and friends of whom I hadn't seen (and in Wolfgang's case, never met) in several years. Reuniting with people I love has got to be one of my favorite things to do. It reminds me of the great people I am blessed with in my life.

I hope that 2012 brings many great things to you all!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone!

I hope you all had an enjoyable night of celebration.

As for me, I sure did, although it was unfortunately shared w/o Euro man.

A few years ago I learned and decided that bringing in the new year festivities are over rated, especially when you don't drink or do drug. So, I started to have ZERO expectations for new years, and just let happen whatever comes up!

Last night turned out well, my friend and I were both husbandless, so we went to two (married) "parties" as a couple, and she let me help her make an amazing artichoke and spinach dip...mmMM.

It was a fun night, and now I'm looking ahead to a new year and to all that it brings with it.

Today is the day of resolutions. :)
