Toronto many times;

Niagara Falls!

13. Whose behaviour disappointed you?
The only person I could say is myself.
14. Where did most of your money go? Bills...ain't it the truth.
15. What did you get really really excited about this year? Our 10-year anniversary trip to St John's NFLD.
16. What song will always remind you of 2013? Stompa, Serena Ryder (and sadly, 'What does a fox say...my kids just love it).
17. Compared to this time last year, are you: much happier, much nicer or richer? Richer (only slightly...if less out of debt counts as richer), and happier. Always happier.
18. What do you wish you had done more of? More chillin with chillens.
19. What do you wish you had done less of? Fretting
20. Did you fall in love in 2013? 10-years baby.
21. What was your favourite TV Program in 2013? DOWNTON ABBEY, Sherlock and Elementary
22. What was the best book you read this year? The Peacegiver
23. What was your greatest musical discovery this past year? ...?
24. What did you want and get? Camera...?
25. What was the best movie you saw this year? Can't really say there was a best. Romantics Anonymous was a surprising French film we enjoyed. 12 Angry Men.
26. What did you do on your birthday and how old did you turn? Not much, went with Tyler on Branch President visits and to the library. Turned 33. This confuses Logan to no end because 'Dad's are bigger than mom's so Dad should be 33 and mom should be 32.'
27. What one thing would have made your year more satisfying? More chocolate? Less chocolate? I know it has something to do with chocolate. No, 2013 was pretty satisfying. Can't lament the past.
28. How would you describe your personal fashion statement this year? Confused at times. How do you make comfy and cute work together? I guess that's one to tackle in 2014.
29. What kept you sane this year? Tyler.
30. What celebrity did you fancy this year? None. But I do like seeing happy news about William and Kate. Makes me happy that they're happy. Fromage?
31. Who did you miss this past year? My family...
32. Who were the best new people you met this year? A few RMs, Missionaries, and new people foe our Branch.
33. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned this year? If you want it, make it happen.
