2012 in Review

I know I’ve neglected this blog of mine and vowed to start blogging regularly several times, but it just hasn’t happened! Nonetheless, I am writing my highlights of 2012 because I love to look back on these! Here’s 2010 and 2011 in review.

• 2012 was all around an awesome and memorable year! Let’s just start with the best part… we got married!!! :) 8-25-12
• I officially moved out of my childhood home and to Indianapolis in January
• We rescued another kitty, Pearl, after our friends found her in the cold!
• Visited to North Carolina for the first time for Lisa & Jordan’s wedding (and went through West Virginia and Virginia for the first time!)
• I became a sub in the spring at a local school district. That’s always an adventure! :)
• Started drinking black coffee because of the Chemex!
• Started juicing and became a vegetarian! Watched A LOT of documentaries. ;)

• Got engagement photos and had a makeup artist do my makeup for the first time!

• Threw Ryan a surprise birthday party for his 25th!
• Officially became a nut.

Now that 2013 is here, I’m looking forward to a great year ahead! We’re closing on our house soon (YAY!), we already have 7 weddings booked, we’re going to become an Aunt & Uncle for the first time (Ryan’s brother & sister-in-law are having a baby girl!), we’re finally going on our honeymoon this year, ha, and who knows what else 2013 has in store!
