Holiday Wrap Up

New Year's Eve...dang! I can't believe that 2012 is coming to a close and that we're about to welcome in 2013! Well all I have to say is BRING IT ON, because I have a feeling that 2013 is going to be awesome.

2012 was a year of extreme growth for me. I feel like it was a big transition year. I learned a lot about myself & about my loved ones. I was put to the test and sometimes I failed, but I can truly say that I learned more about life this year than I ever have in the past years.

In 2012 I:
- Graduated from college
- Moved closer to my family
- Started an internship in the event industry
- Stopped blogging for a little while then realized how much I love it so came back to it
- Went to my first country concert
- Completed the Color Run
- Put my hair in a top knot...yay hair growth
- Went on my first plane ride
- Got a tattoo (detailed post to come)
- Met my blog BFF in real life
- Spent some time apart from Adam but found our way back together
- Grew much closer to family

Blogging has really pushed me look back and reflect on life. Not just the "big" things but the daily details, too. I love going through my archives and seeing how far I've come. It's so encouraging and reminds me that I'll make it through whatever comes at me. I'm so excited to tell y'all that my passion for blogging has been relit and I am SO excited about continuing. I have a lot of ideas floating around in my head, and with the help of my new camera I'm hoping to make those ideas come to life :)

I'm not a fan of making New Year's resolutions, but I do plan on being present in every moment possible in 2013. I won't let people or circumstances get the best of me. I will stay strong in who I am and what I believe in. I will take what comes at me and handle it as tactfully as possible.
