2012 in Review

I may have overdone it last year with the Year-in-Review posts.*  I do love a good year-in-review, but perhaps it's not necessary to have five separate posts on the subject.**

I've decided to start bestowing titles to my years.  

2010 would be the "Year of the Weight Loss."

2011 would be the "Year of Adventure"

2012 would be the "Year of the Book."***

While this year hasn't been quite as thrill seeking or quite as skinny as 2011, it still had some some truly wonderful memories.  Here are the top bits of 2012 (in no particular order):

I started actually tackling projects that I pin on Pinterest.  This was the first of many!

One of my most favorite cousins, Sarah, got married.  Sarah is the same age as me and we've been great friends, despite a large geographical distance, since we became pen pals around the 3rd or fourth grade. I'm so happy for her and happy I got to see my extended family this year (it doesn't happen every year).

In 2012 I discovered my love for race cheering, cheering at my friend Kristy and my brother Todd's first half marathons (pictured, respectively, below.  When done correctly, this can be the most fun way to spend a Saturday morning. 

In 2012, the remaining members of my girls high school small group graduated from high school.  I love them, and I'm so glad we've remained close.

My whole family was together for Thanksgiving. This doesn't happen often, so I feel extra blessed on years like this one.  I love my family.

I was a quarter for Halloween!  Prob not one of my favorite costumes, but memorable, nonetheless!

My friend Amie instituted a weekly group dinner at her house with my favorite people.  Easily the best night of the week.

I joined the choir! I feel like I've found my calling in life! (PS, I'm dead center in the slightly blurry picture below)

I achieved my dream of racing in a tutu at the color run!

My friends and I made a tribute to this greatest Harry Potter video. Skip to the 1:05 mark if you want to bypass us taking forever to get ready.

Last but not least, my friends and I made the BEST CALL ME MAYBE video EVER!
If you haven't seen it, watch it a few hundred times. I'd still like to get our views up to 1,000.

What was great for you in 2012?? I'd love to know!

*You can find them here, here, here, and here, if you're into reviewing Year-in-Reviews from previous years.

**Although, 2011 was a spectacularly good year.

***I've read 81 books thus far in 2012. More on that later.
