Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013

Christmas 2012 has probably been one my favorite holidays of all time. I actually didn't expect that considering it's the first time in all of my life that I didn't have an actual 'vacation'--free from responsibilities and deadlines. What made it so great was that I got to spend more quality time with family and friends than in years past.

Mom's side of the family hosted our annual 'Corbin Family Christmas'--we gave, laughed and enjoyed delicious food before having a white elephant exchange that featured an entertaining variety of gifts (in typical Corbin fashion)-- from canned salmon to tool sets! Here are a few photos from the night:


Sweet Cousin, Taylor

Kisses for G & P

Our Proud Santa

We also got to share in the joy of reuniting with Dad's side of family. He has four brothers and between them, there are 11 cousins. Bringing this rowdy bunch together definitely doesn't happen often enough and our time consisted of musical tables at a Cuban restaurant, dinner for 19 at our house, a photo shoot for Princess Ava and lots of laughs over bygone memories.

Happy Birthday, Jesus!

Since the festivities have ended, See.Spark.Go. has been busy working Passion 2013 and I've been busy preparing for another year ahead. I'm hopeful for 2013 and excited about all of the possibilities that lie ahead. I'm employed and in a completely new stage of life--all in a matter of months.  It's kind of crazy to think of how far the Lord has brought me in the last year--graduation, accepting my first job, working with people who are absolutely incredible and from whom I learn so much every day.

I'm looking forward to this new blogging adventure and sharing with you my thoughts as my chapter three is written.
