My 2013 Recap
2013 was a whirlwind year for our family. We had so much going on, and hardly got a chance to settle. We did some traveling, moved twice, had a couple misfourtunes, but really, I can’t complain. After all, Hubster came home from Afghanistan this year.
BTW, our wifi and cable will finally be set up today, so I’ll be back to edit and add some photos shortly.
