2013 Resolution Update
Things have been crazy. Busy and crazy, but filled with lots of exciting things. Here’s an update on how I’m doing with my resolutions. My 2013 Resolutions: Be more patient.

Life Updates
Happy Weekend! I saw this little danger trap on the way to a client’s house recently. Mommy-son lunch date at where else but Mexican. My friend Alissa (in the silver) just bought a new house and had some work people over for a little housewarming. We took Ben to a live nativity scene at a local church one weekend before Christmas. Showing off one of the Christmas presents his little brother received. One of my best friends was in town and we had lunch on New Years Eve at a local brewery. A crazy and wild New Years Eve night. Ben finally crashed on the couch around 10:30. Although I…
