looking back at 2012...

so i've given up on going back and blogging about everything that happened last year. maybe at some point i'll go back and write about it in detail. for now i'm just going to give an overview of my amazing year.

the first exciting thing to happen was that i got a new niece!


blakely kate white

i was so excited to be part of meagan and trey's wedding! meg was beautiful, as always, and we had so much fun.


the girls of st. jude

in may i met jesse and we started dating. we went on our first "big date" with the kids when we went to sikeston and ate at lamberts...home of the thrown rolls.


it was so good to get together with all of my girlfriends for a nashville weekend in the summer. there was lots of shopping and eating!


bev, april, kelly, kimberly, me and irene...only kristie was missing

our next trip was down to alabama to visit jesse's sister jaemye and her husband bryan and son gavin. bryan was down there doing an 8 week training before they were stationed in utah so we were glad to get to spend some time with them. we had a fun time on the lake on saturday.


we officially got engaged!!! my ring had to be sent off and specially sized since my finger is so little...by the time we finally got it back we practically had everything done for our wedding!


my sweet, wonderful friends threw me a shower at one of my favorite restaurants, salsa.


the one thing that happened last year that was absolutely heartbreaking was that my dear liberty passed away. i had liberty since she was a tiny baby and when she died she was about to turn 11 years old. she had several tumors in her belly and was in a lot of pain, so i had to make the difficult decision to put her to sleep.


abby started 2nd grade and jared started kindergarten!!



my mom and sisters gave me a lingerie shower! i also had a church shower and a work shower. i felt very blessed.


the most amazing part of last year was on september 15 when i became mrs. boyd!! i married my best friend and the love of my life.


call me crazy...but the week after we got married we loaded up in two 15 passenger vans and headed to disney world! we had 20 people with 10 of those people being 8 years and under. it was a fun, stressful, LOUD week!!!


in november my husband and i went on our first get-away! we went to nashville for the weekend and had such a good time.


at the hermitage

...and now we are all married off!! melissa and mark are perfect together and i was so happy to be part of their wedding day.


our first christmas together as a family!


i have been so blessed by the new family that i have married into. i now have 3 new sisters, jaemye, leslye and julie. my in-laws have been so good to me.i have 7 new nieces and nephews, grandparents, and a ton of cousins! everyone has been so incredibly sweet to me and i love them all.
this past year has been amazing and i can't wait to see what 2013 has in store!
