Anything exciting for 2012?
I'd SO rather be hanging out than working today.
Anyone have anything fun and interesting planned for 2012?
Re: Anything exciting for 2012?
I have my fingers crossed that soon I'll have a new job. Last week I had a second interview for a position, and I've been on several interviews where people were very excited about the prospect of me working for them, but they were going to have to work out a way to get me on staff.
DH and I are really into Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. In June, we are going to Chicago for an all day tour of several Frank Lloyd Wright houses. We are so excited!
We're planning a trip to Europe - Vienna, Berlin, and Prague.
DH is applying for graduate school to get his PhD. So, there is a lot of planning involved in that, mainly because if he gets in, we'll be relocating and we'll be without his salary.
An action packed year for us!
big year for us! In general order of events (not importance ha):
~upcoming trip to Puerto Rico (yay!)
~getting a minivan!
~baby!
~hopefully buying a house
Oh boy- I KNOW you are pumped about this one!
Knock on wood, DH will finally finish school at the end of this year!!! So excited to be a two income family (without tuition expenses) again - not to mention that this is obviously a huge, huge milestone for him. Would also love to be cooking #2 before the year's end; but we'll see what happens there.
Other than that, we're hoping to do some fix up work on both ourselves (lots of medical stuff going on) and the house. With any luck we'll have the basement renovated before the summer.

We're finally going on our Europe trip this year, we're looking at May- London to visit a friend, plus somewhere else, probably Ireland, France, the Netherlands, or a combination. We have some hopes for 2012, but that's the only really exciting thing that's planned. I could possibly be getting a promotion/raise this year, this will probably be the year that we're ready to start a family, thinking about possibly buying my grandmother's house- but those are all maybes. The trip, however, I am very excited about!
I'm going to Haiti for 2 weeks in March for my job... I'm expecting it might be a life-changing trip. I've done a good amount of travel, but not so much to the "3rd world."
I will also be graduating this year with my masters and I plan to run the Chicago marathon, which would be my first. And maybe last, ha.
We are going to Jamaica in April!! Can't wait for that. I think we're going to Las Vegas over Thanksgiving, too.
We might "pull the goalie" and see what happens in terms of starting a family.
Crossing my fingers that my husband gets the job he has an interview for next week, but it feels like a longshot. Cross your fingers, too, please!

Cooking with Crouton: A Food Blog
You will have a great time. I went to Berlin, Munich, Prague, and Vienna in college and it was awesome.
We really don't have any plans for this year. Last year was busier with me graduating and getting a job. This year I'm looking forward to continued agility training and working towards moving into a new house (I would love to build if we can).
I have been to both Prague and Vienna! Loved them both, but Vienna was by far my favorite.
All those sound like life changing events!
I've traveled to a couple "3rd world" locations and I actually really like it. I think that generally, the media portrays 3rd world locations in the most pathetic, gut wrenching, terror-ridden light. I've generally found that it is very little like what is portrayed in our news. With that said, I'm not trying to make light of Haiti's historical and ongoing plight. I know somoene who works for NPR, and they went to Haiti right after the earthquake and she said it was a life changing experience.
We're really looking forward to it. We did Munich and Frankfurt 4 years ago, and loved Munich.
Would love to see Prague eventually! My H always raves about it.
I would looooove to be employed again, preferably in a position that pays well.
And, y'know, we have a baby due in September.
And are tentatively planning a Disney World trip in October (see that first line...) with my Mom and our BFFs.
We're going to Napa/San Fran in May, which I'm super excited about!
Maybe another vacation later in the year, Charleston SC or Vegas or Bermuda.
Other than that, things will be pretty much the same. I'm trying to convince the hubs to run the Baltimore 5k in October but that will be a miracle
We don't have anything huge planned, but the first weeks of this year have gone so well that I just have a great feeling 2012 is going to be a fantastic year. I hope I didn't just jinx myself!
