dear 2012, thanks for the good times.

i got to thinking the other day about what a fantastic year it has been. it hasn't always been the perfect day, there have been more than enough sad days, angry times & dumb things to deal with, but at the end of the day, i think the good of my year has far outweighed any of the struggles i dealt with. and i'm going to use every good & bad day i've had this year to make sure 2013 is nothing short of AMAZING!

so to wrap up 2012, here are some of the top moments of my year :)

hubs & i got to participate in a bunch of the fitness goals we really wanted to do this year.

{Chevron Half-Marathon // MS-150 Ride // Tough Mudder with our friends // Husky Hustle 5K}

 we traveled for fun, i traveled for work...

{we love planes // NYC trip #2 // Wisconsin to see my cousins get married // Chicago to hang with these cutie patooties}

there were a lot of random shenanigans we participated in.

{spent a lot of time with our favorite goober // saw a bunch of plays // hosted our first thanksgiving at home // went to fun events like zoo lights}

 celebrated our two year anniversary <3

{saw a beautiful christmas tree after a surprise trip to the Nutcracker // i made a steak dinner for the hubs // we stayed at the beautiful Hilton Downtown // did a little DIY project as part of hubs anniversary present}

overall, i'd say we had a heck of a year! and i am so excited for 2013 to bring even more fun memories & challenging times!

i hope you have all had a wonderful 2012 & that you ring in a new year safe & sound surrounded with those you love!!

happy new year, sweet friends :)
