year in review

It has been so long since I have had any updates!  School took over my life the past few months, so I didn't have a lot of free time, but I figured the last day of 2012 is a good time to summarize!

2012 has been very good to me!

-I decided to apply to grad school, got in to the only school I applied to, and have started coursework that is leading to my master's degree and specialist degree in education.  It has been overwhelming at times, but I already feel that I am learning a TON, and I can't wait for more learning experiences in 2013!

-I got engaged to my best friend, and I have started to plan/prepare for our wedding and marriage!  Some days he drives me absolutely crazy, but I cannot wait to "start our lives" together this year.  (Though, I am not convinced our daily lives will change all that much, it is still exciting to know we will officially be married!)

-Two of my best friends also became engaged!  I am enjoying hearing about their plans, and I am so lucky to be a part of their days in 2013!

-Another one of my best friends became a mother for the first time!  It is so amazing seeing her parent, not to mention the amazing love even I get to feel when I hold that beautiful girl!

-My brother became a husband, and we recently found out him and his wife are expecting a baby.  I can't wait to be an aunt again in 2013!

It has been a great year, but I am excited for all of the changes that 2013 will bring!
