Good morning! Last Friday I posted about the things I accomplished and the goals I met (and didn’t meet) in 2012. If you missed it, you can check out the post here. Today I’m going to share some of the fun times I had over the course of last year. That’s the beauty of having a blog – I love looking back to see how much I’ve done in a year. Not only in my accomplishments and whether I’ve reached my goals, but also to remind myself of fun trips, adventures, and nights out (or in).

Phew! 2012 was quite the year… lots of things accomplished, but lots of fun too. Of course I’ve had some struggles, but that’s life, and in the grand scheme of things all the memories I just mentioned resonate more than the tough parts do. Here’s to hoping this year is just as great.
What’s your favorite memory from 2012?
I’m off to NY for the weekend with Ashley to visit Jen… I’m psyched!!
I was a little concerned that I was not in any of the recaps at the begining of the year, but you came through towards the end.
