I want to bid 2012 a proper farewell. I'm glad to leave it behind and see what 2013 will bring.
2012 was a strange year.
The majority of the time, I felt pretty down, if not down, then at least somewhere in the middle.
The downers:
- My working environment really wears on me mentally.
- Long distance wears on Joe & I emotionally.
- I learned both grandmothers' cancers had returned, and my mom's mom isn't going to survive this time around.
- I've struggled with body image and weight.
- My parents and I had some pretty decent spats.
- Money has been tight. Really, really tight.
- I have been unsure about what I want to do with my life/career next.
- My younger brother got booted from NROTC & had to drop out of school.
But, my highs were really high:
- Joe & I took a great trip to Hawaii in May.
- We canoed 20 miles in 100 degree heat and had a great time.
- We went to WI over Labor Day and he got to know some of my other family members better.
- I went to Nashville to visit one of my best friends.
- Another best friend got engaged and asked me to be a bridesmaid.
- I went to DC with my family to see my mom, older brother and future sister-in-law run the Marine Corps 10k.
- Joe & I ran the Color Run in Cincinnati and had a blast.
- Joe & I backpacked and camped in Red River Gorge, in the most amazing weather ever.
- Joe & I got engaged! Finally! And wedding planning has been good so far!
- My older brother & his girlfriend finally got engaged!
- My parents got a new puppy, which I got to play with during my week-long stay in WI over Christmas.
- My dying grandmother got to see me in my wedding dress, with her jewelry on. It was so special.
- My parents got to take a trip to Scotland. And they brought back a plethora of wonderful goods for us kiddos.
- A very blessed Christmas and New Years with my family and Joe.
What do I have to look forward to in 2013?
- My wedding!
- My brother's wedding!
- Three friends' weddings!
- A honeymoon...
- A trip w/ my younger brother before he goes to basic?
- Moving to a new city and moving in with Joe.
- Making & keeping resolutions.
- Leaving my job and pursuing something new!
- Other things I don't know yet!
Here's to 2013, may it be better than 2012 for everyone!
