A Look Back at 2012

Tonight we'll wrap up 2012, and welcome 2013!

2012 was a big year for the Campbell's. It was busy. It was fun. It was full of many firsts for our Brittany's Odin and Loki. And it brought lots of changes.

We started the year off on a high note with Odin finishing his show championship with a big Best of Winners (BOW) for a 4 point major at the Sammamish Kennel Club show. He officially became Champion Odin with that win! 

Loki followed up with great performances in both the field and show ring this year. He was invited to compete at the American Brittany Clubs Western Futurity show and field events in April in Madras, Oregon. He had a huge win at the Oregon Brittany Club Spring Walking Field Trial by taking 1st place over 14 contestants to earn 2 more points towards his field title. He's also had many shows wins this year with his handler and is up to 12 points, needing only his 2 majors (shows worth 3 points or more) to finish his championship.

Ben celebrated another big birthday by turning 35 on Cinco de Mayo and celebrating with good friends.

In June, the family grew by one with the birth of my niece Hannah Elaine. She is my sister Vanessa's first child and the only grand baby which means she is spoiled rotten by all of us.

Seattle blessed us with 76 days without rain for a great summer/fall which included great times with family and friends and another year shared with our family of 2 people and 2 four legged kids of which one thinks he's more human than dog.

November brought a big work change for Jacqui as she left the advertising agency world behind and moved in house to become the client. She is now the Senior Marketing Manager for the Everett Herald Newspaper running their marketing department.

The holiday season was filled with first for Hannah with this being her 1st Christmas and the joys of presents. She was sadly more interested in the paper and bows than the toys.

As we look back on 2012 and the great year we have had we can only imagine what is in store for us in 2013. Happy New Year from our family to yours - we wish you love, health and happiness all year long.
