2012 and 2013

2012 Review
-Visited Taiwan and met Andrew's family. They are just the sweetest people. We ate until we could take no more. Taiwan has so much to offer, especially for your taste buds!
-Eating Clean(er) and exercising more. It hasn't been consistent but it's a start. I am definitely more educated on it and am more conscious of it. This is something I will always be working on.
-Purchased our first home and living together. I absolutely adore our apartment and our neighborhood. I could not have asked for anything better. This truly is our dream home in NYC.
-Upgrade to iPhone5. Seriously, a good smartphone is a life changer. It has helped me manage my personal life better and I have been taking more pictures, which was one of my goals for 2012.
-Promotion at work. Well, this one was quite unexpected. Nevertheless, I am really happy to be able to celebrate this accomplishment.
