Welcome 2012

Although the new year arrived a little over a week ago, I am just now starting to organize myself and mapping out the plans I have for 2012. As I mentioned in my last post, my sister flew in from the DR to spend Christmas with us and just went home last Sunday. We had such a lovely Christmas. We went shopping, sightseeing, visited NYC a couple of times, and ate... a lot! We printed out all the pictures from her trip and made a scrapbook so she could show everyone back home. I hadn't worked on a real scrapbook in a long time (I got bit by the Shutterfly bug!) and it was so much fun. We miss her already!


2011 was an amazing year for us. I can't believe how quickly it flew by! In January, Marcos came home after spending 2 months in the US traveling for his residency interviews. In February, we were engaged, and the next few months were spent in wedding and traveling preparations. I will never forget those months. It was both, one of the happiest times of my life and one of the saddest, since my grandfather passed away exactly one month before our wedding. It was intense, and busy, and bittersweet in a way. But we were all in it together, us and our families, and we pulled through. God knew what he was doing. It was like the wedding gave us something to look forward to, to be happy about, just like Granpa would have wanted. And it was perfect. Then we went on our honeymoon, which was more wonderful that I could've imagined.


In June, we moved to the States and since then it has been a new adventure after the other. I can't believe we've been here for 7 months already! I have a feeling 2012 will be a great year. I'm not really into making new year's resolutions, but I do have a long list of plans and wishes for this year. One of them is to put more time and effort into this blog, so starting this week I hope to have lots of interesting posts for you. Stay tuned!
