2013 Review

I stole this 2013 Survey from my friend Becca. You can check out her blog here.
I also did something similar to this last year. You can read it here.

1. What did you do in 2013 that you’d never done before?
Stayed at a Disney resort. I worked there for 8 months, but never actually spent a night at one of their hotels.

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
My resolution for 2013 was to be healthier and not be the typical couple that gains a whole bunch of weight after getting married. The first 6 months was a fail. I gained about 13 lbs. The last 6 months was a win. I lost those 13lbs. So I'm actually the same exact weight I was one my wedding day. So, I kind of kept my resolution. And yes, I am making resolutions this year. They can be seen in a video here.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
I had several friends have babies. Lacy & Rob Devlin (Ally Kate). Justin & Christa Adams (Thoryn). Wes & Courtney Trundle (Ansley). But no one in my immediate family. 

4. Did anyone close to you die?
My co-worker Max Cushing. That was a hard one.

5. What countries did you visit?
None ... but lots of states.

6. What would you like to have in 2014 that you lacked in 2013?
I really can't think of anything. Believe me, my life isn't perfect but I was pretty content this year.

7. What dates from 2013 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
April 11th: The day David left his job. It was scary but exciting.
March 28th: The day we lost Max

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
David leaving his job and starting back at freelance. That may sound like an accomplishment for him, but it was also for us. We get to spend a whole lot more time together.

9. What was your biggest failure?
I'd rather not say.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I was sick off and on for the last 3 months of the year. It was always something.

11. What was the best thing you bought?
My new scrapbook table. It's the small things!

12. Where did most of your money go?
Travel. We went to Tunica, St. Louis, Holiday World, Disney World and Navarre Beach, Florida. It was a fun year.

13. What did you get really excited about?
Disney World. It was my first trip back in 5 years and I got to take my husband. His first trip in almost 20 years.

14. What song will always remind you of 2013?
Katy Perry "Roar"
15. Compared to this time last year, are you:
- happier or sadder? Happier
- thinner or fatter? Same
– richer or poorer? Richer

16. What do you wish you’d done more of?
Friend time.

17. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Sleep. Sounds odd, but I need to learn to get out of bed at a descent time of the morning.

18. How did you spend Christmas?
Christmas Eve Eve we went to Cookeville and stayed with my family till Christmas Eve Evening. We drove back home for midnight church service. Woke up Christmas morning just David and I at home. Then over to his parents for the rest of the day. Back to work immediately after Christmas.

19. What was your favorite TV program?
Teen Mom 3 -- I'm a dork. 

20. What were your favorite books of the year?
I only read maybe 2 or 3 books this year. So "The Last Letter From My Lover"

21. What was your favorite music from this year?
Michael Buble
 
22. What were your favorite films of the year?
Hunger Games

23. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
Turned 27. We had a small group of friends over to the house for a cook out.

24. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Money. Duh. Wouldn't we all love to be millionaires and not have to work and just spend all our time travelling and helping others?

25. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2013?
Jeans ... mostly with a few cool new Torrid dresses thrown in here and there.

26. What kept you sane?
My husband. Always

27. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2013.
To confront people that need to be confronted. Sometimes just letting things go isn't the best option.
