12 Posts of ’12 on 12-12-12

I thought today would be the perfect day to reflect on 2012. I know a lot of people are OVER 2012, but it was a life changing year for me. Now don’t get me wrong I always enjoy a new year and a blank slate, but 2012 will always be a very special year for me. It was so hard to pick just 12 posts – but as a scanned through my archives, these evoked the most emotions or memories for me.

1. I Got a New Job
2. Airplane Meet Cute
3. 2012 Mantra
4. David Cook & Me
5. FINISHER
6. California Love
7. WIW – Broken Record Edition
8. Sarah & Jenn: Then & Now
9. January-June Cloud
10. The Tall & Short of It: An Epiphany 
11. Weekend in Review
12. Marine Corps Marathon Thoughts

A new job, life relocation, 2 marathons, meeting my idol/future husband, lots of self discovery and sowing some wild oats.

Of course these posts also make me look back jealous of the 175lb me COMPLAINING as I sit ~8lbs heavier today. The airplane guy never planned out, but he was a good distraction while I was in the midst of some ex-bf drama. California was a magical trip and fell at such a pivotal time in my life.  I also finally got to start living a “normal” twentysomething city life after years in the rural country (eastern Connecticut, Texas, Alabama) these past 7 years.

I love life these days. Thankfully this year I’ve been able to have a good balance of not having work take over my life. However I’m still working finding a balance when it comes to fitness and a social life.
