H started a fabulous new job, I hit the two year mark at mine (ie can't be fired without cause anymore haha!), I started working from home two days a week, we got pregnant, have had a healthy and relatively easy pregnancy so far, we spent a lot of time with friends and family, my brother accepted a position in Salisbury post-residency so they'll be back in the state which is awesome, and so on and so forth. The year started out relatively crappy for various reasons and really ended up being a good year, which is always a great way to end the year!
What are your goals for 2012? To buy a house, get through childbirth (lol), and that's about it.
