2012 was a good year. There was lots of firsts. We finally moved out on our own, meaning not living in a parents basement. Which I'm not complaining, it was actually kind of nice. But we've enjoyed the experiences that come with living away, just the two of us together. Kurt got his first dog ever. He's always wanted one, and he finally was able to get one. Kazi has been such a fun little dog to have, leaving aside the times when she is not fun. She enjoyed her first experience at Lake Powell. She's never been in water besides when taking a bath, once she got used to it, we couldn't stop her from going in. She loved it and was such a good dog. We can't wait to take her there again. Kurt started his first semester at the U, finishing up the pre-requisites and then getting into the Marketing program. We went to Iowa for the first time to visit some family members and went to the Mall of America. Nice relaxing week. We also ran our first marathon together. A big trial for the both of us, but so many memories. We were also part of a relay team. We had never done one of those before and we really enjoy them. It's nice to take a break while other people are running and not shower for a few days, and eat nothing but junk food and snacks to keep your energy high. In April, we ran our first Duathalon, most likely our last. (at least mine) No training, biking for 22 miles ON a mountain bike, getting past by a bunch of old people on their road bikes. We might have finished last, but Kurt still got first in his age group. (that's not saying much) My job is great, first time I've ever got a promotion and worked a full time job.
There were many more memories that we had this year and are gratefull for the experiences and trials that we endured and look forward to a great year in 2013 with many more memories and firsts.
