2012 just kinda came and went for me. I seriously kept thinking were in 2011 and getting ready to hit 2012 but were not. Why does it seem like some years are like that and others are epic? Anyway I really wanted to take the time to reflect at what all had been done. Before I sat and went through my facebook and blog posts the only thing I could have told you is that my gram died. I guess cause of all the experiences that had that effected me the most. However it was great to look back and realize all the good things that happend that I had forgotten about! So here's a little look into what my 2012 looked like...
Had a lot of firsts....
I dyed my hair red!
I went camping without my parents and no electric!
I did a festival by myself!
Physically sat and watched a complete sunset.
Got my first puppy!

Some sad things...
My grandma passed away.

This is one of the big reasons why I love blogging, the recap. Maybe the first or second year I started my blog, I felt like I had done nothing special all year but when you look back through your posts you see all these great things you forgot happened. Seems like you had a pretty epic year to me!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year!
