2012 New Year's Resolution Update

If you are thinking I disappeared and dropped off the earth...I did.  Just for a few days.  Trent and I escaped to Galveston for a few days of vacation and took the vacation part pretty seriously.  We haven't really made much contact with our regular world since Sunday and it has been great.   But I figured I should log back in to real life and do my annual new year's resolution posts.

My one new year's resolution for 2012 was to see Steph more, since she is only an hour and a half away in Dallas.  Sadly, I can't report a huge ton of success for this one.  Just a little bit.  We made a good start at the beginning of the year but then I guess my tax season, her case load, my...eh, excuses, excuses.   We saw each other three times in 2012.

January - While in Dallas for three days of tax CPE, I met up with Steph and Tammy at a cute pizza place called Dough for dinner and what turned into about 2.5 hours of great conversation!  

February - I trekked up to Dallas for a slumber party at Steph's apartment.  We did some crafty projects and stayed up past my bedtime.  

November - Another CPE trip to Dallas this time and I got to have dinner with Steph on her birthday actually.   It took me an hour and 15 minutes to drive about 8 miles from my hotel to the restaurant and it took Steph about 2 hours to drive from the location south of the metroplex she was working from that day, but we were finally united over wine and delicious food at Maggiano's.  And I forgot to take a picture...

Steph just bought and moved into a house, so I think that calls for a trip up to see her and get a tour of her new digs before tax season kicks in.  We decided seeing each other shouldn't just be a new year's resolution but rather a long standing policy.
