2012

filled 3 journals with words. Lots of words.

lived (long-term) in 3 different places.

posted 78 blog posts
read 21 books
got my drivers license
travelled to Europe
learned to drive a manual transmition well
won 3rd place in the nation with my awesome volleyball team
bought my first album off of itunes

and I've become older.

Life is a maze, where all of the walls continually change. 

Enjoy every phase, every moment. Make it all worthwhile. I look back on 2012 with many happy memories, many wonderful times, and many moments of gratitude to God for the life He's given me. I don't want to end the year with a long nostalgic post. Nostalgia is nice but lets look ahead. 2013 awaits. Full of open doors, new days and moments to treasure. Be ever grateful.

"Aim for the moon. For even if you fail, you'll land among the stars." -Clement Stone.

I wish you all of God's blessings in the new year. Have a happy happy new year!
