So I have been MIA lately, and I contribute a large amount of that due to lack of computer. We are still in the hunt for the "perfect computer" Any ideas/suggestions would be great! Plus I think a lot of it has to do w/ my frugal and perfectionist husband. Not only trying to find the perfect deal but also the perfect computer that has anything and everything we need! Love that man!
So 2013 has been great so far, can't complain too much. I will update later. I thought to humor you all as well as myself I would do this 2013 New Year Questionnaire that was being passed along.... Enjoy

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I enjoy the prospect of making a change in your life and the fresh start of a new year. I'll continue to make resolutions year after year and although I may not "keep" them I try really hard to do better!

CANADA!! So i totally started to write that I didn't travel to any other country but that classifies as a country considering I needed my passport =)

7. What was your biggest failure?
Letting other get to me in regards to how I live my life, how I carry myself.
