A year in the waiting.

Its been a very long, tiring, and strange year. I'm back. (I somehow managed an exact year after my last post!)

Here's the deal. I started another blog somewhere else to test what it was like having my own website. I hated it. The customization options were awful considering how much I paid, and I didn't understand what I had to do to get anything set up. So, I'm back here where things make sense again.

A quick run down of the last year.

Tom took me to see Seether in concert at DTE.

We went to the Michigan Renaissance Faire, and I bought a ridiculously expensive (but incredibly well-made) corset.

I worked my last shift and Casa Dominick's! The ladies say they will miss me.

This is Christmas at Aunt Dorothy's house. In the picture is Aunt Dorothy (at the piano) Jeff, Jack, Lee, Steve, Grandpa, and Brad. Here they are singing Christmas carols. It's sort of become a tradition that the men and the women sing their own separate song at least once so the other group can heckle.

Here is my old car, Lady Eleanor, heading off to star in a derby. She had been rough for quite some time, and I needed to get something more reliable, but it was still really sad to see her go! We had some interesting times together.

This is Valentines Day just before we headed out for our date!

Emilie Autumn Concert, FLAG tour 2012. This was the second time that I'd seen her live and it was extravagant!

Then my little nephew Mason came into the world. 27.5 hours my sister was in labor!

Lee got a new job at Citi and got to wear pretty clothing to work!

Indian Lake with Emily, Aunt Debbie, Aunt Dorothy and Grandpa!

Quilt show with Aunt Dorothy, Marty, and Lee. Aunt Dorothy was even featured!

 

 

Went to Mongo, IN to visit my Grandmother and brought Frances along. Went to Shipshewana.

My Mom got married on August 31, 2012.

Fran, Lee and I walked in the Labor Day parade again. Working hard to get Prop 2 passed!

At 3:00 AM Lee and I left for our big adventure to Washington D.C. We spent four days in the city before leaving to go on the second leg of our trip.

This is the second leg of the trip. We spent the night in the MOST BEAUTIFUL bed and breakfast ever, went out for a great dinner, got all gussied up, and spent the night soaking in a warm (claw foot) bathtub until the week of walking around D.C. had all but disappeared.
