Banana Orange Bread w/ Honey Glaze

--- 2012 ---

A huge year.

Moved three times.

Started a new amazing relationship.

Found love.

Cuddled my puppies at least a million times.

Lost friends.

Gained new friends.

Had many tears.

Laughed a million times.

2012 was a year of change.

A year of extreme sadness and extreme happiness.

My best friend Rachel is home from Florida. Her little girls are the cutest kids in the whole world. Rachel is there for me no matter what and I am here for her.
I don't think another friend like her exists in this world, and I'm perfectly okay with that.

I have two adorable and sweet dogs. They are my babies and my friends.
They are so full of unconditional cuteness and love and kisses.

I am so ridiculously happy and fortunate to have met such a wonderful, loving man.

My relationship is so full of laughter, honesty and understanding.

I love Dan for exactly who he is. He is supportive and kind, brave, and endearing.
He makes me smile every single day.

I couldn't ask for a better person to love or to love me back.
And luckily, I don't have to.

I haven't posted on here in forever. People keep asking me about my baking and my blog and I don't really know what to say. I almost feel like this blog died.

I'm realizing now that it doesn't have to. This blog was a big part of my life. My baking was a big part of my life. I get sad every time I think about this blog and what it used to mean to me. 

I'm thinking of starting it back up again.
