2103 Year in Review

First of all, let me say that I realize there has been a terribly long lapse in posts on this blog.  I was talking to Brad the other day about things, and he said that I need to have a blog where I can just post about our life in general.  And I thought, "Wait, don't I already have a blog like that?"

We ended 2012 on a rough note, and 2013 was better in some ways but worse than others.

Here's a brief review of our 2013 highlights:

January

• Brad in physical therapy for herniated disc
• Find out Brad had nerve damage in lower leg due to disc

February

• Brad has microdiscectomy (back surgery)
• Brad leaves his job at MSI
• April's grandmother passes away

March

• Trips to San Antonio and Jacksonville/Tyler
• Brad starts new job at M&I

April

• Brad starts another new job at Dragon Products
• April starts new job with HF

May

• Moonlight Madness bike ride with April's dad, Robbie, Lauren, Taylor

June

• Trip to Waco
• Uncle Richie passes away

July

• Trip to San Marcos with Brad's family
• Trip to Galveston to see Young Frankenstein, stayed at Tremont House

August

• School starts, April leads her first trainings

September

• Trade in Brad's truck for a Ford Escape

October

• Anniversary date at Kirby Hill House, mystery dinner theater

November

• Thanksgiving trip to Hattiesburg, MS with Brad's family

December

• Brad's birthday and Christmas with family (and NO back pain!)

I don't know why I wrote that in third person.  What a year!  I think 2014 should have less career-changes, vehicle-changes, and surgeries (fingers crossed).
