Hello 2013!!!

Happy New Year friends!

Sibling love...love my big bro sooooooooooo much.
So much fun spending time with childhood friends

Happy times with good friends (my bestie of 27 years at the far right :) )

Christmas dinner with Dr. Love

The perfect striped top (Banana Republic) thanks to my Aunt Seps.

Cousin pic...can't believe that my youngest cousin will be half my age come January 14th...eeeeek!!!

Loved this open-back dress, but had no idea where on earth I could wear it (btw, check out my sexy sports socks...yeah baby!)

 Wearing my engagement/wedding rings, a couple of my right hand rings, my sister-in-law's engagement/wedding rings, and a dear friend's engagement ring. The shine didn't carry over to the pic, but holy moly was I in sparkle heaven!!

First of all, my apologies for going MIA on you for almost a month. December-today has been crazy busy with holidays, family events, vacas, work, and life...

I just got home after being in Los Angeles with my in-laws for over a week. Dr. Love and I had such a great time with his parents, grandparents, bro/sister-in-law, and other relatives. Dr. Love's vaca ended early, as he left for a business trip on Friday. Mine continued on with a few days at my fam's home in Orange County. I had SUCH a wonderful past couple of weeks, but am also really happy to be back at home. There's nothing like snuggling up on your comfy sofa under a warm throw and watching some intelligence killing reality tv...yes, I'm talking about you, Real Housewives!

Back to reality = a TON of house cleaning, LOTS of legal work, lots of blog writing over at Mint + Chase, work on a new exciting addition to the Mint + Chase team (eeeek!! so excited to share this news!), and lots of alone time with Dr. Love once he gets back on Wednesday.

2013 is bound to be a big year! First of all, yours truly turns the BIG 30 on January 14th! I have so many emotions about turning 30 that I'll have to share them with you in a separate post. Let it suffice to say for now that there is a bitter-sweetness to this birthday.

Other than the big bday, I also have been getting more legal work (yay!!!!) and am amping up my ad/promotion efforts over at Mint + Chase. My poor baby has been on the back-burner for the past month, but I'm finally ready to give it the love (and new updates) that it so majorly deserves.

I'll write to you again this week (and promise that there will be more pics), but I'd also love to hear some feedback about what it is you would all like to see more of on my blog. I know that there are many of you visiting the blog (you make a girl blush), but I'm not sure what you like to read/see most. So, please leave a comment and help me make this blog that I love so much a place for you to love as well!
