2012 in review

Happy New Year blog buddies!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year holiday. I, unfortunately spent some of the holiday with the awful stomach flu. Pretty much everyone has had it, haven't they?

As we are only a few days into 2012, I wanted to look back at some of my favorite things that happened in 2012! Enjoy!



1. 2012 got off to a great start as we donated to the ASA Foundation in Denver. Something I had been looking forward to for a long time. View blog

2. Gabby Mae celebrated her first birthday complete with birthday party and dog cake. She is the princess of our house and will always be my special girl. Little did she know her world would completely change in a month! View blog

 3. Our family grew! Welcome Tucker Rae Hatmaker to the family all the way from New York. He was difficult for awhile (still at times), but we love him and are so glad he is in our family! View blog

4. Drew and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary at the place we got married! Can't believe it has been two years, but wouldn't trade it for the world.

5. In May, Drew and I travelled to Stillwater, Oklahoma to attend a Livestock Marketing Seminar with my mentor Christy Collins. It was an awesome experience, and we learned so much from her and other attendees. View blog

6. We took a family vacation to Mexico Beach. See photo below. Explains it all!

 7. We planted our first garden at our house. Since we moved in last year in July we weren't able to plant a garden. Our okra, zucchini, squash, and bell peppers did well, but some of the other - not so much. View blog

8. I started my {Sale Day Fashion} segment on From Paris With Love. Allowing readers to see what I wear on sale day across the U.S. Can't wait to get it started again in 2013. View blog

9. Drew and I visited the Grand Canyon in December while on our Las Vegas Christmas Vacation. It was absolutely breathtaking.

10. While in Las Vegas, we had the opportunity to dine at Wolfgang Puck's Spago during the 20th anniversary. He was in house the evening we were there, and we had the chance to meet and talk to him. It was an awesome experience, and he was really nice!

2012 was a great year to the Hatmaker family. We can't wait to see what awesome things happen in 2013. We are looking forward to an amazing future!
