It seems like every year I look back and think, THAT was the best year ever! I am sorry, but, I’m going to have to go there again. 2012 was amazing! I’ve loved every minute of living it and I can’t wait to top it with 2013! I think every year is as good as we choose to make it. Also, as good as we choose to look at it. Every day I want to wake up and know that I’m where I want to be, doing what I want to do, with the people I want to do it with. I’m so blessed that everyday I’m sure of that. I don’t know what 2013 has for me yet, but, I’m certain it’s good!
But, before I get ahead of myself, let’s chat about some of my favorite things in 2012! Starting with this picture…
{Thanks Emilie Carol you lovely lady you!}
Favorite Blog Posts:
Eric: Fashion Confession
Tyler: The 20 Somethings Guide to MegaBus
Kyle: Community; or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love my Neighbor.
Blogs I Followed This Year:
Missed Connections: OK, technically, it’s not a blog, but, I sure do read it like one.
I Heart Organizing: Tons of tips on organizing your life!
Jose Villa: He’s magical…
Movie:
The Master
Bar:
MG Road! I go there a couple times a week. It’s not what you think. I just really like to go there and write. Hemingway said, “Write drunk, edit sober.” I think that’s great advice. That also explains a lot about Hemingway’s writing. But, MG Road… They have the friendliest bartenders, a really chill atmosphere, great bathrooms, and the best pork belly tacos of your life.
Hang out:
Not only do they have the best coffee in town. That’s not even debatable. But, the baristas are just some of my favorite people around. Not to mention, the customers have this strange community thing going on. It’s just a real solid crowd ya’ll.
Overall Theme:
I’m stretching for this one. But, I wanted to talk about the amazing people that I’ve met this year. I feel like I’ve made so many new friends that bring some greatness to my life. I am so blessed to continually have new beautiful souls to surround myself with.
Experience:
Kyle and I’s trip to Panama! We met so many great people, explored, rested, and had one great adventure. I enjoyed having to speak in Spanish and it was one of those times where I could just look back and know that I chose the right person to spend the rest of my life with.
Weekly Occurrence:
My weekly self-date days. Going to dinner, the movies, and out for drinks alone has been one of my favorite parts of the year by far. I’ve not had to ask anyone if they wanted to go see that cheesy film or the one with subtitles. I have had a lot of time to think about my life and if I’m moving in a direction that I want to go, and I’ve been so happy to get to know myself better. Not to mention, it’s just nice to have some time to ask myself if I’m happy. {I am.}
Also, weekly cuppings at the Counter Culture Training Center. I get to nerd out and talk about coffee while also hanging out with some of my favorite friends.
Most Embarrassing Moment:
That time I took a photo of me eating a banana, dipped in peanut butter, dipped in granola while on a business trip. This is why I live with three boys. Because, if I’d been home, someone would have told me this looked like a penis before I posted it to the internet!
Big Change:
Incorporating Boudoir into my business! Ya’ll this side of what I do has brought to life something in me that I didn’t even know was there. I LOVE my job!
So, that concludes my case that 2012 was pretty sweet! I didn’t even get to mention how much I love living with these boys and how they make me want to be a better person everyday! Also, how much I love writing this blog, and how much I love all of you!
What’s your favorite part of 2012? What are you looking forward to in 2013? Share it on the facebook page, if you wanna!

I love seeing that you are loving what you do. So much of my life feels like I’m just waiting for something better to come along. I feel like I’m stuck in the waiting game. Waiting to save money to go to grad school, waiting to get over sickness so I can start working out again, waiting for the next semester to end. It’s exhausting! But it makes me feel better (and a little jealous) hearing about all the wonderful things you are doing and how you are enjoying every moment! I hope your 2013 is just as joy filled as your 2012 was and more!
