Happy New Year!!

So another year has come and gone. 2012 had it's ups and downs like every year does but I'd like to think that the ups outweigh the downs. I'm trying to recall the year and here's what i came up with ..ahaha

January - April
-Drawing blanks ...can't remember what I did so it must not have been that exciting

May
-Started working on my Kaylee (firefly) dress

-I want to say Jason got his new job around this time as well

June
-Pretty much spent the whole month of June at Natasha's house sewing the Firefly costumes

July
-CON!!!

August
-Jon & Jean had a party ...was tons of fun (Jason had to much fun) =P

-I'm sure I went home for Mom's birthday

-We went to can't stop the serenity at the Riverview theater ...I wore Kaylee the first night and Jason wore Cap'n Tightpants aka ..Mal. The second night we wore Dr Horrible and Horrible groupie

September
-September brought back Packer football season and adventures at the Herkimer

-Mom came and visited in the middle of the month ...I introduced her to the wonders that is SR Harris

-Jason and I went to Ren Fest ...I actually made an outfit this time. Just a basic wench costume but fun all the same

October
-Jason and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on the 5th and we went to Parma for dinner. OMG was it delicious!!

-Went to my first Zombie Pub Crawl with Jason, Jason's friend Ben, Jon & Jean. We had an 80's theme going on ...It was a blast!! Little drama in the middle of the night (never do zombie island!!) ..but other than that loads of fun and I can't wait to do it again this year!

-Started on Mary Poppins and Bert costumes for Jason and Myself for Halloween that just never got finished ..they will now be BritCon and CONvergence costumes

-We did the Pedal Pub for Halloween with our friends Matt, Sam, Garrett, Gerran, Steve and Hannah and some of Matt & Sam's friends. Jason wore his zombie pub crawl costume and I wore Luna Lovegood. It was tons of fun, we had random strangers hop on the pedal pub at the last block ...they were wasted and wanted to know what the magic pedal thing was

-We went to a Halloween themed comedy show at the Spring Street Tavern with Seth, Hannah & Natasha. Jason wore his zombie pub crawl costume, I wore Kaylee and Natasha wore the TARDIS. She won best costume and I won best what the f*** costume (ahahah)

-Jason's Birthday was in October and we went to Chino Latinos ...we ate so much food it wasn't even funny

November
-We went to the Marscon Masquerade ball at the Crowne Plaza in Bloomington ...we weren't quite sure what to expect when we got there. It was in a tiny little room but several of our friends were there and lots of people I recognized

-Matt Davis moved back to Alabama in November so we had a going away party for him at the Local. At the end of the night it was just Hannah, Charles, Matt & Myself and we ended up staying out till 4am doing last minute Minnesota/Wisconsin things with Matt

-My 31st birthday was in November and we went to memory lanes bowling alley

-Jason and I went back to Wisconsin for thanksgiving and I had 8 days off from work it was glorious!

December
-Jason & I went out to Boston to visit Rachel and Ben while they lived out there. On Saturday we wandered around Harvard & MIT, went to the museum of fine art, went to the north end and got the real deal Italian food and a canoli. Sunday we spent walking the freedom trail and saw all sorts of cool historic landmarks ...the graveyard where Paul Revere and Sam Adams are buried, Paul Revere's house, the old north church and the site of the Boston massacre. We then went to the Thirsty Scholar in Cambridge where the opening scene of the social network was filmed and watched the Packer game (go pack go!!)

-Jason's company party was at the Pourhouse ...which is super cool!! They rented out the whole top floor of the place for like 5 hours with open bar

-We started talking with Natasha about moving in with her when she buys a house in early 2013

-I started going to Ceili dancing at the Dubliner on Wednesday nights with Natasha, Erik and a bunch of the other festy/con type people

-New Year's Eve Jason, Jon, Jean, Natasha, Andrew & I went to Insert Coin(s) and it was a blast!! Will definitely be going back there soon. We purchased tickets that came with open bar, but on top of that all tickets included free appetizers and they were really good actually and kept refilling them all night long (we weren't quite sure what to expect). All of the games also had 50 free credits in them. Played a good mix of games but ended up playing space invaders and super pac man the most


And that's my year in review =P

If i think about it I'll try to add pictures
