well, 2012, it's been a fun ride so far.

i have never been so joyful, stressed, challenged, empowered, inspired, at peace and confused in all my life.
if you were a person, 2012, i'd like to throw a couple punches at you and kick you in the gut. but i'd also like to throw you a party, to thank you a thousand times over and hug you till your insides can no longer function.

looking back, the little things that occurred have all added up to the grand picture God has of my life. i'm ashamed to say that i didn't expect anything special from this year. 

but you outdid yourself 2012. you really did.

i'm so happy that on the countless times i felt ready and desperate to give up and give in, you made me hang tight. 

you are freakin good, God. it's been an adventure i'll never forget.
