2012 will mark the 12th New Year’s Eve with my guy… yeah, the one riding the Peace & Love 70s van with me, just pictured above… ♥ And this December we celebrate 110 months of married life… it sure goes by pretty fast!
How was the year of 2012?
Apparently, we all did okay through the Mayan quasi-apocalipse, so, that’s a pretty positive point!
It’s often said that images speak more than words, so…. Considering that during 2012, we had homes in three countries, it was a bit of challenge to pick an image to represent each month, but, why not give it a shot? :
Here is our 2012, through photos!
August 2012: New life, new school, new friends. School kids receive their ‘welcome’ with a traditional ‘Salteñada’. 
July 2012: Spending Home Leave in the USA. During a family Reunion, kids get to ‘show their colors! 
September 2012: Learning about our new home, the beautiful country of Bolivia. First stop: the traditional architecture of the San Francisco Church 
October 2012: Halloween at the USAID/Bol Compound 
“November 2012: Celebrating the Anniversary of the Marine Corps. “Who doesn’t like a Ball?” 
January 2012: Beginning the year cooking: a typical Portuguese/Brazilian dish: Shrimp casserole, here, with an added hint of…. beer! 
June 2012: After 2 years at post, our family says goodbye to Brazil in style, surrounded by friends, family and co-workers! 
March 2012: A trip full of adventure to the Archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, Northeast of Brazil. 
May 2012: A visit to the Rainbow Warrior, ship from Greenpeace on Brazilian Waters. 
February 2012: Enjoying the largest street carnival in the world – Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. 
December 2012: Scenes from old homes and present home. The warmest wishes for a fantastic New Year! 
April 2012: Visiting the mystic city of Brasilia, capital of Brazil, for a USA/Brazil summit. Here, the architecture, lighting and unique beauty of the Metropolitan Cathedral.

Happy Holidays to all!

Thanks, Kat! It’s sort of an emotional journey, once you’ve got to back and revisit the photos, think about the captions… Anyway, good idea, and happy results! Take care, and have a great year of 2013! 😮
