Reviewing 2012

So, it's been awhile.

And now that the new year is started and I'm getting back into a schedule, I plan on posting a little more often. My next couple should be simple as I review some of my favorite 2012 moments.

From August 2012, comes my favorite quote.  It was shouted at me during a family vacation at Flaming Gorge with extended family.  We were at Mustang Ridge (Shepherd Family favorite campground right near the swimming hollow).  Breakfast was finishing and we were planning the day.  I informed my daughter I needed a brush and hair things to get her ready for the day.

"MOM!  WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE ME LOOK SO FREAKING NICE!"

Same day, with her looking so "freaking nice"

It was classic.  Aunts, uncles, grandparents all snickered.  I had to try to hide mine from her.  I did, however, pull out my phone and type this quote in a memo preserving it for posterity.

So, one day soon, when I'm telling her teenage self that she needs to get out of the bathroom, I can remind her that it wasn't so long ago that she didn't care how "freaking nice" she looked.
