Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013!

I love people watching. One of my favorite times to go people watch is at the gym, right after the New Year. It is always filled with people who are gung-ho on their resolution to "lose weight". It takes twice as long to work out because classes are full, equipment is being used, lines are formed as everyone waits patiently, etc. After about a month, if that, the gym goes back down to the normal crowd. I always laugh at how quickly people give up on their resolutions. Not laugh in a bad way, just laugh in a way that I can completely relate to. But, I love making New Year resolutions. I LOVE IT!  For the past 2 weeks Jeremy and I have been thinking about our resolutions. We made 10 resolutions.

I won't share all of our resolutions with you, but one of them is to update my blog more. I know this makes our mothers happy! It makes me happy too! For the past couple of months we have spent our lives in this crazy haze... we can't honestly tell you what we've been up to besides work, school, eat, sleep, pet dogs. Same routine, different day. But I know that that's not all we've done. So, in an attempt to keep you posted on life in sweet Elgin, SC, I have set the resolution to post more about our lives and take more pictures of our lives!

Here are some photos from the past few months. I promise that I will keep pictures as up to date as possible... at least for 2013!

My little sister got married this summer. We were just making sure Rod knows who's boss in the family! 

My parents at the wedding. 

After wedding unch with the family. I sat next to my best friend. 

The Krueger family with my Wuelita and Wuelito. Rod was the only husband there.

2012- the last year of the Krueger girls. Now it's Tinker, Dickerson, Hite, and Griglen. 

This fall I was fortunate enough to visit Steph and Lucas in Myrtle Beach
a few times because my work sent me there.  

My mom turned 50 and asked to be baptized by Jeremy. It was his first baptism.  

Valerie and I did our first 5K... even though it wasn't a timed race. 

Celebrated with Olivia for her first Halloween. Of course we are the dwarfs to her Snow Whiteness. 

First Thanksgiving

Some of our family... I think I fit right in! 

We took Olivia to the Singing Christmas Tree at Shandon
Baptist Church... she LOVED it! 

We went to West Jefferson, NC to visit my parents and support Chelsea, who
graduated from App State! (We got sick and I missed the whole graduation.)

Olivia's first Chanukah! 

Olivia and the graduation girl, Chelsea! Jeremy and I watched you grow up.
We are SO proud of you! 

My mom, Chelsea and Olivia watching the lights go down. 

We decorated Chelsea's hat so she would be easy to spot in the crowd. Thankful that
I got to share in at least 1 graduation celebration! 

Jeremy and I went on a hike to take photos and I was caught sleeping on the side of a mountain. 

Happy Chanukah from the Dickerson Family, with a little Baby O sprinkled on top!

Our First Christmas

Christmas morning at Jim and Yogi's house.
