2012 was by far one of the best years of my life (for obvious reasons) so I thought it would be fun to do a year in review to highlight some of the best parts of 2012. Some months were clearly more thrilling than others! :)
January
On January 27, 2012 we found out that there was going to be a little Brittain joining our family. We had been praying for this to happen and we were so excited when it did!
February
I dont really have a picture for February. I had been hit BAD with the morning aka all day sickness and we honestly did not do much! But there was one memorable moment in February. I got my first speeding ticket! I had made it 10 years without a speeding ticket and I got one going 73 in a 60! Such a bummer!!!
March
In March we finally got to see our little bean for the first time! There is nothing like seeing your little baby bouncing around healthy as can be!
April
In April, we found out that Baby Brittain was a girl! I had a feeling that she was but it was awesome getting confirmation!
May
In May I got a new job! I was hired as a Reading Specialist at a new school! This was a HUGE answer to prayer. I honestly did not think it was going to happen for me because I was pregnant and showing during prime interview season, but it did and I was so happy! This is a picture of me on the day I had to teach a lesson in front of the principal to a group of second graders. Talk about nerve racking!!!
June
In June, I ended up teaching summer school for two extra weeks. I was sooo happy that I was going to be starting a new job, but I did enjoy most of the people that I worked with so it was a tiny bit bittersweet!
July
July was a busy month around here! Jerry turned the dirty 30! His birthday is only two days away from my sisters birthday who also turned 30. We had a combined party and I was the awesome wife that stayed out until 2 am so that the old foagies had a sober ride home!
On Jerry's birthday we also got to see little Emerson in 3d! It was so fun seeing what her little face looked like while she was still in my belly!
We also got to take a little trip to Port Aransas with our friends Levi and Kelly!
There is nothing better than a self timer pic! Ha!
August
August was a fabulous month! I started my new job at my new school and almost immediately felt at home! I dont think I have ever felt more welcomed in my life!
The best part about August was that my sister Sarah got engaged!! We were all soo excited for her and Clay!
In August, we also had Emerson's baby shower!
September
September was spent getting ready for little Emerson! Jared's sister took our maternity pictures which turned out to be some of my favorite pictures of all time.
We also had a baby shower for my friend Kelly. It was so fun having a friend that was pregnant at the same time as me and I loved being able to celebrate little Mabry!
Jared also started a new job in September. He was hired as a Construction Manager for a large home builder! This was seriously the job of his dreams so we were so excited!
October
October was obviously hands down the best month of 2012. Little Emerson Ryan Brittain made her appearance on October 12, 2012 at 2:03 in the morning!
November
Little Em had her first Thanksgiving. We were so Thankful for this sweet girl!
December
Jerry and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary this year on 12.12.12! To celebrate we took a little trip to New York City with Sarah and Clay!
Emerson also had her first Christmas and not only was it her first Christmas but it was her first WHITE Christmas!
2012 was SUCH a good year for us that I am sad to see it go! I hope that 2013 will be just as good to us!
