2022. 2022! How are we in 2022? Hope you all had a happy and healthy end to the year. When I signed off for the year we had a lot planned. Not everything went as planned though. We were visited upon with some very bad news. We were rocked to our very cores when we heard about the sudden death of a close family friend in a freak accident. When something like that happens it makes you question your life and the choices you make, it makes you want to hold your loved ones closer and make more memories with them. The last few years have been filled with much loss for many people and wish everyone another year of courage and hope.   M and I got our boosters. I reunited with a friend I hadn’t seen in 5 years!

And I thought 2011 went by fast, 2012 was a bit of a blur. I still can't believe it has already come to an end. I wished for fanfreakintastic and fanfreakintastic it was. We were blessed with travel. We took our, what has become almost annual road trip in May. Started with Baltimore  and then hit the capital Washington DC , made a quick stop at  Great Falls Park  before driving through the Skyline Drive in Virginia. We headed east to Virginia Beach  before heading north again. Stopped to see wild ponies in Assateague  and had some family fun on the Ocean City boardwalk. We had the fortune of travelling again, this time international in October. It was a trip like no other, more a spiritual journey than vacation. We spent a few days in Cairo and Iraq after a great layover in Amsterdam and ended the trip with some family time in Dubai . D is now two and a half years old.. he has been continuing with his swim classes and took some art and gym classes early in
