Hello all, Happy New Year! it's taken me a few days to collect my thoughts on 2012. For me, it was a year of new adventures. I went to more new locations last year than I think ever in my life. It was marvelous. That's a new year's resolution I NEVER keep. Here are a few:

March. Fort Myers Beach, Florida


June. Birmingham, Alabama


July. Newport, Rhode Island


October. Nashville, Tennessee


November. Tuscaloosa, Alabama


In 2012, I figured out alot about how amazing and truly integral some of my old friends and learned that sometimes you just gotta get out there and make some new ones. And I did:


I explored a whole new world (at home and on advenures) with the Ginger. It was kind of our year to get into a groove, get to know each other and honestly fall in love. It was wonderful. I still wonder if I deserve him:


As always, I never could have done it without my rock/roommate/BFF/partner in crime.


I'm pretty proud of my 2012. I never say that... like ever. I'm proud of how I did in my personal life. I'm proud of trying new things and I'm proud of staying reasonably fit most of the year. Sitting here thinking about it, I have no idea why I dreaded looking back. Could this be a wonderful new world for me? Let's not get crazy now.
