I was asking my handsome husband what his favorite memory of 2012 was last night when we both realized that the years have gotten all jumbled together. What a great reason to go through all the pictures of 2012 and reminisce about the wonderful year of 2012! Happy New Year!
January 2012- Geocaching! We love exploring new places and geocaching while we are at it. We have discovered so many places that we never would have found if not for a geocache.
January 22, 2012- We celebrated mine and Mom's birthdays at Joe's Crab Shack.
January 24, 2012- We went out to NM for my birthday. We helped Mom and Dad do some things for the new house. I also go to shoot my Papaw's SKS that he gave me for a wedding gift. Great birthday present to finally get to shoot it!
February 2012- It snowed!
February 14, 2012- Valentines Day! My sweetie got me a prim rose and we made a cake. The strawberry syrup ran, but it's a great memory.
March 5, 2012- Dad's Birthday! We tried to make him a cake, but I forgot to grease the pan. Opps! It looks horrible...but it was very good tasting!
March 2012- We went to LCU and Texas Tech Baseball games. I'm ready for more baseball in 2013!
March 17, 2012- Green Pancakes for St. Patty's Day at The Pancake House!
March 20, 2012- We went out to Apple Country to see the apple blossoms. This was our first time to see the blossoms. They are gorgeous! They have a Cascading Weeping Peach tree (the pink blooms on the left). It is a beautiful tree that I want to plant at our house.

March 20, 2012- We visited the Wind and Power Center to see all the generations of different wind power. It is free to walk around outside. They have a museum that you can go through. Admission is $5. I've been in once before. I remember it to be a barn full of windmill history.

March 23-26, 2012- Austin! My hubby saw the XDM he had been looking at on sale at Cabelas. We asked off and headed to Austin after getting off work. It was a super long day. Amy got a surprise text and they let us stay with them. It was a great trip. We got the gun, visited the capital, and did some site seeing with Amy. On the way home we stopped in Fredericksburg where I found my new cowboy hat. We also went threw the Lyndon B. Johnson National Park on our way homeward.
April 3, 2012- Trying out the XDM gun we went to Austin to get. Sadly, this was the last time we would get to shoot at Rustic Range...they closed it shortly after this. :( The XDM was amazing though! My love is very happy with his purchase.
April 2012- We got so many beautiful pictures and videos! The Texas sky is amazing!
May 1, 2012- Our One Year Anniversary! <3
May 4, 2012- Instead of going somewhere for our anniversary, we painted the house!
May 5, 2012- We saw the Super Moon!
May 20, 2012- We got to watch the Solar Eclipse. It started out super bright and we didn't even realize it had started. Then my brother got his welding helmet out and it was indeed something other than just a bright bright sun. It finally got to a point where you could see the eclipse and even photograph it without the welding helmet. It was a beautiful site. Photos go in order from left to right going down. Look how big it still is as it disappears on the horizon!
My hubby made a video of the eclipse that you can watch by clicking here.

May 23, 2012- I got my first stunt kite and finally got the hang of it. It did some crazy nose dives with me behind the wheel! My love coached me and I got it going for awhile.
May 26-28, 2012- My loves birthday is May 25. We were originally just going to Amarillo, but we ended up going on to Santa Fe. Wow! Santa Fe is beautiful! We stayed at The Lodge of Santa Fe. I would love to go back in 2013!!
