Top 12 of 2012

Each year our little blog grows and grows. So exciting!  It's been an incredible way to keep up with family, friends who have moved, and also to make new friends (yes, mom, I have Internet friends).

Our readership has just about doubled.  We had almost 6,000 unique visitors this year!  In addition to regular readers, I get a lot of traffic from Pinterest (looking at party decorations, cookies, or cakes), Rebecca's blog, and from my bit on the Mormon website over a year ago.

I am considering this list to be the most popular read in 2012, not necessarily written in 2012

Well, without further ado, the top 12 of 2012:

Twelve
Project Simplify: The Laundry Room
Cleaned out All The Things for Lent and blogged about it

Eleven
Miscellany Monday: On the State of Me: My Life Four Months Postpartum
Depression, work and a baby!


Ten
What I am Loving {5}
A lot of random things including this awesome Draw Something picture

Nine
Catholic on a Mormon Temple Tour

Where has she been?*

It's been a while, friends. Hi! Where did we leave off?  Ah yes, the roach .  He's still alive.  It's been over 10 days.  Though, he's slowing down and looking a little skinnier than when we first found him.  Maybe I'm making it up. I've started my new job with my friends lawn maintenance company.  Most of my time has been spent learning all the new (to me) software, moving the office to it's new locations, and just learning what the company does and offers.  Chris and I have had a great time working together so far.  I'm really enjoying learning new things.  Chris has already taught me a lot about great customer service. This weekend was my last retreat with middle school kids.  It was bittersweet. We had a spirit filled weekend full of lots of laughs, low ropes, rock wall, ultimate frisbee, prayer, and learning about Jesus. Our theme was "You Never Let Go" and we discussed three parables:  The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin, ...

Our Debt Story Part IV: We're Debt Free...now what?!?!

WE’RE DEBT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Before you celebrate with us, make sure you've read Elizabeth's Story , Eric's Story , and How We Climbed Out of Debt . Two and a half years of gazelle-ish-like intensity + the few months prior as emotional primer and slowed spending, we made it!  We paid off over $50,000.  We have two car titles. Closed credit card accounts. Statements from one student loan (and one on the way!) with a $0.00 balance.  All our debt with Eric’s parents is paid off.  It’s. All. Gone. We also paid for my 3 semesters of grad school in cash.  Paid a second car accident in cash (it was minor compared to the first one).  Went to Nicaraga on a Mission Trip in cash.  Went on a 5 day Puerto Rican vacation in cash.  We’re up to date on medical expenses for the baby in cash.  All while squeezing in travel for weddings , babies, family reunions, half-marathons , mini-vacations and to see out of town friends...in cash! ...
