I’m sitting at LAX, waiting for our flight home after seven days at sea. My body still thinks I’m on a boat, everything is rocking. We had a great time snorkeling, reading, eating, playing games, eating, napping, eating… I was worried about the gluten-free food on board and how safe I would be, but it turns out Princess knows what they’re doing. In fact, I felt better this week than…
Our bags are packed (thank you all for your suggestions, yes I now I’m a nerd), Grandma and Grandpa are holding down the fort at home (the kids didn’t seem too sad about us leaving…I suspect promises of popsicles may be involved), and we are ready to head out!

On the last day of the year, I’m tempted to race forward, set new goals, think about all the things I want do to next year…LET’S GET STARTED! But before rushing ahead to the new year, I think it’s important to take time to pause and reflect on the good, bad, and amazing things that happened in 2012.
