Well I guess you saw this one coming. The obligatory last day of the year post recap. You'll get over the cheesiness of it. ;)
What a year this has been. What a year!
How incredibly different things can be after one year. I finished a masters, drove across country a few times, got a new job, and made a pretty big move. It sure was nice to not have any finals or papers to write this December (but not nice enough to not go back for that third diploma in a few years)!
I feel like I've been flying by the seat of my pants. I still can't believe this is my life. The adventures I've had (and plan on continuing) have been pretty insane. There have been lots of ups this year, and lots of downs too. The end of 2011 was full of hope for the unknown. I had no idea what I'd be doing 6 months later. Hope for the unknown is a wonderful feeling, until push comes to shove and all of a sudden you have two degrees and no job. Then it gets a little scary....Then it all magically works out, and everyone lives happily ever after. Except, scratch the happily ever after.
You idealize what you want for so long and then it finally comes, and it's never what you think it will be. Life is what you make it. So I'm going to make it great. I'm at this weird crossroad of finding myself as a real adult. Coming in 2013 "Lisa the real adult!" Weiiiiiiirrrrrddddd. Ive been watching these sitcoms about 20somethings in America, and I'm ready for this 20something's life to start being like those sitcoms.
I was rereading the year's resolutions. I didn't floss everyday this year, but I did floss more than ever before, so that's a success! I got that job teaching high school band. I. teach. high school band. Craziness. I never did get to run a race with a friend. Maybe this year I should just commit to run a race period. I'm not sure about any resolutions for 2013. I plan on getting more involved with my church. I'm hoping to make more friends here doing that. Yesterday I went to the Bikram yoga studio here. It's the first time I've done yoga since moving to Houston, and I'm am very excited to make that a part of my routine again. I'm planning on going everyday before school starts. I think it will help put me in a good frame of mind to start the new year.
(Oh! Side note! I got a juicer for Christmas! Wahoo! I've been wanting one for a while. I've been a juicing queen since I got back to Houston. My fridge is stocked to the brim with spinach, kale, celery, beets, pineapple, apples, and grapefruit.)
What was your favorite part of 2012? I'm not sure if I can pinpoint one favorite part of the year. It sure did leave me with some moments I will remember forever. Hiking Snowbird, sitting on the front porch of friend's houses in Salt Lake (yes, they do that in places not the South), the movers losing my stuff for 6 weeks, and countless nights with good food and good people.
Well here's to 2013! A year full of health, love, good thoughts, great relationships, and helping others.
