Top 12 Moments of 2012

12. Spent the beginning part of the year going to any and every concert that was in the area. I got to see Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean, George Strait and Martina McBride, and Wade Bowen to name a few.

11. Traveled to Seattle with my best friend, Alli to visit our friend, Marcus who lives there. It was one of my favorite trips ever. We had such a great time and did so many fun things!

 

10. I ran my first half marathon with my longtime friend, Sabrina (it was also her first half marathon). We had a lot of fun training and gossiping on all our long runs together.

 

9. Caught the biggest fish I'll ever catch in my entire life while fishing with Aaron and his friends. I might have cheated and had some help, but I still think it counts since I put my hand/arm in it's mouth.

8. Hosted my first "Favorite Things" party with some of my favorite girlfriends to celebrate my 24th birthday.

 

7. Aaron got a job and found out he would be moving to Arkansas, 7 hours away from me :( I was so happy for him and thrilled to hear the news, but sad at the same time.

 

6. Spent July 4th weekend at a resort to celebrate our first annual family reunion with my dad's side of the family. We had a blast swimming, horseback riding, golfing, playing games, and enjoying each other's company. I also shot my first and only eagle while playing golf. It was one for the books.

 

 

5. Made the trip to Aaron's new stomping grounds to house hunt. We were successful and found a great 3 bedroom rental house for him to live in.

 

4. Celebrated big life moments like a wedding and lots of babies with sweet friends. Still waiting on a few more babies to make their grand entrance. I loved having the opportunity to capture these moments through photography.

 

 

 

 

3. Went duck hunting for the first time in my life and really enjoyed it.

 

2. Spent quality time with some of my favorite people in the world...my best friends.

 

 

 

 

1. Last but definitely not least.....while helping Aaron move into his new house, I got engaged! It was by far the greatest thing that's happened to me this year.

 

2012 was such a wonderful year. I'm thankful I have this blog to look back on and serve as a reminder of all the many things to be grateful for.

 

Something tells me that 2013 is going to be even greater. It will be one of the busiest years of my life. I will be planning a wedding, moving to a new state, traveling to Vegas and Nashville for two different weddings, traveling to Myrtle Beach, SC for a bachelorette party, Dallas for my bachelorette party, and paradise for our honeymoon. All of that crammed into the next 6 months. WOW....that makes me so excited to think about, but I really can't fathom yet how it's all going to be physically possible. I know one thing is for sure...come July, I will be so ready to relax and settle down into a quiet little town with Aaron :)

 

Happy New Year to you all. Hope you have a fun and safe holiday!
