It may seem like a lot of photos, but this is just a small snippet of what took place in 2012. There were so many more fun memories of this past year. There were also some sad moments as well. I have learned a lot this past year, and I know that I am truly thankful for the family and friends that I have. I am incredibly lucky for the support and love that I have received this past year, and I hope I was able to return the favor to all of you as well.
I wish you all a Happy New Year’s Eve. Please stay safe tonight.
Atlantic City! What a weekend. First off, congratulations to the bachelorette, my cousin Alex. I think we showed her a pretty good celebration, evident by the fact that she wore her tiara the entire time, and even on the way out of the casino. She clearly did not want the weekend to end. It was wonderful to get some quality girl time complete with constant squealing, dirty shirley’s, sequins, stilettos, and dancing. I am not a huge gambler, but I did get into a game of black jack, the Sex and the City slots, and a little roulette as well. This weekend was definitely one for the books, and I am now super excited for her wedding at the end of the month!
View from our hotel room at the Revel. You can see a bit of destruction left over from Hurricane Sandy. Boardwalk and casinos were pretty much in tact though.

Well, I am looking forward to a little relaxation tonight after a crazy fun-filled weekend. Planning on maybe a little work out, dinner with the hubs, and catching the Redskins v. Giants game on TV. HAIL!
