2012 in review

Sometimes I start to feel like the years of my life keep passing by faster and faster... The older I get, the more I realize that life is truly a gift, and even if seemingly "momentous"events happen, each day we should strive to find beauty in the little things. I know this is starting to sound like one of those mormon quotes that mormon Mom's plaster on their mormon kitchen wall, but I guess I'm for real kinda having one of those realizations as I type...

So looking back on the year, it has been good to me. I am alive, healthy, have amazing friends & family, and a steady income. What more could make me happier?! In retrospect, this year has truly been good to me.
