Year in review - The first six months

At the beginning of 2013 I did a couple of posts looking back over the year, it was kind of fun to look back and see what I had actually done in the last 12 months. So I thought I'd do the same thing again this year.

JANUARY

• I also blogged about going to Opunake Beach with my family 
• We spend New Years 2013 with a group of friends at Onaero Beach
• I started my new job - in a new made by me skirt
• I was stunned by an exceptionally hot summer!
• We took a mini break in Auckland
• I finally got around to blogging about the fun times we had with friends visiting TATATM over our new year holiday

FEBRUARY

• I blogged about visiting the Festival of Lights during our new years holiday
• I finally finished up the Alien Cross-stitch pattern (designed by Rich) that we began for our friend Ross for his birthday in (the previous) June!

APRIL

• I made a peg dress and visited Petone
• I volunteered the April Fabric-a-Brac

MAY

I did spend most of May traveling in the USA - there are much worst ways to spend you time! But I did do a couple of blog posts during May.

• I visited New York City!
• I was lucky enough to meet Juanita whilst in NYC
• I also traveled to Philadelphia and stayed with Meg

JUNE

• I wrote more about my trip to the USA - including my time staying with Alicia and Bear in Pennsylvania. 
• Rich and I celebrated eleven years of awesome
• Ria and I went to Armageddon as sugar skull ladies
• I blogged about visiting my friend Dani in Florida and going to Disney World
• Ria and I went to Vintage-o-Rama with Helga and G, we also met up with my friend Joy who had a stall at the event.
• Rich and I went to the Lux Light Festival 

Phew! I think I pretty much said the same thing last year, but it feels like during the course of the year I didn't do much. But when you put it all down in one blog post it seems like HEAPS! This is only the first six months too. When I get more time I will do the second half of the year. I hope 2014 is treating you well so far.
