I don't always blog...

...but when I do, its because I'm putting off doing something more important.  

I always get the urge to blog when there are other things I should be doing instead.  I must have at least 6 blogs half-written that I started during finals weeks, when I should have been studying. And right now I should be cleaning my house but I just. don't. want. to.  So, I'll blog instead.  Just don't come over, because my house will not be clean.  

Since I missed all of 2013, here are our Top 5 moments of 2013 in no particular order... 

1. I finally graduated.  You would think that I would have my Master's Degree by now, since I have been in school for so long, but I just finished my Bachelors degree in Geography. I'll tell you what, you learn a lot more from school than just what you learn in the books...and I learned a lot!  I've said it before and I'll say it again - if you put your spouse through school you automatically deserve an honorary degree yourself.  He knows more about Geography than he ever cared to... 

2. We found out we are expecting our first baby! It was the most wonderful surprise, but the timing could not have been more perfect.  More on this to come later...  3.  We bought our first ever brand new car.  Neither one of us has ever owned a new car, and we figured its worth doing at least once in your life, right? It's a 2014 Mazda CX-5 - we LOVE it! 4.  We celebrated FOUR years of wedded bliss by vacationing on Catalina Island.  I got SO sick on the way over, and it was freezing all weekend, but we had the best time!   5.  Brad grew a mustache of epic proportions (Yeah, it's list worthy.) He grows it every year in honor of "Movember", which helps to raise awareness about Men's health issues.    There were a lot of other amazing moments in 2013 too, like seeing some of our favorite musicians in concert, going to Disneyland with friends and family members, going home to Utah to visit, sporting events, live theater, weekend getaways in sketchy B&B's and hearing our baby's heartbeat for the first time. Yeah, 2013 was a good year for us, but I have a feeling 2014 is going to be EPIC.
