No thank you Facebook, I can do my own Year In Review Part One

Well, here it is... Almost a year of writing Thank You cards... Can you believe it? I can't! For years I have followed blogs and have always wanted to do my own year in review. Now, I'm not talking Facebooks version of year in review, I am talking a full couple of blog posts. Here we go! This was 2012

January

I started my blog and wrote my first thank you card! I actually didn't start on January 1st. I started middle/late January. Despite that, I am finishing January 1st, 2013. 

Kirsten came to Boston and we celebrated New Years on the coach with our phones handy, ready to text everyone we know... Not too exciting. Earlier that day we explored Boston and planked in awkward places. 

Jterm started.. I worked at the local school with three and four year olds. I enjoyed every single moment of that. 

Lot's of birthday celebrations... Both Ellen and Kirsten's birthdays.

Also started working with A. A brought a smile to my face every Thursday morning I worked with her.

February 

BIRTHDAY MONTH... goodbye teenage years... Let's back up, birthday doesn't come until the end of the month.

Started swimming on Sundays as a de-stresser.

Celebrated my 19th single awareness day alone. I need to find a way to make this years Valentines day much more exciting.

Then before we knew it, it was my birthday! What a lucky girl am I? Such amazing friends who made the day so wonderful..

March

March is nice, because towards the end of the month you can see the light, that is the semester ending.

Continued to babysit B who I miss so much!

Evelyn came back into my life, after a hard winter break from each other. Started a movie challenge, that would soon end.

I participated in my first ever ZUMBATHON. Had so much fun dancing for two hours for a great cause.

Spring break happened. After drama about who to room with I ended up rooming with Shay and some other people. Shay and I started to get closer as friends.

We started to row again on the Connecticut River

April

April is always a hard month for me. Between work picking up, crew races starting and just anniversaries. Both April and October are really hard for me.

Racing began.

Kirsten and I pushed our beds together.. Why? I'm not too sure. At least we never went to bed angry. We are an old married couple.

Kirsten and I had a photo shoot with Veronika to help her figure out lighting for her actual professional photo shoot.

I did a Mood Makeover Challenge, that I saw on the Today Show.

I didn't race for the first time in my life during one of our crew races.

Kirsten and I threw an awesome birthday party followed by a black light dance at Chapin.

Out to dinner before surprise birthday party 

I hit 100 thank you cards.

May

Crew racing season came to an end.

I met someone who would end up being my boyfriend.

Sophomore year came to an end.

Kirsten and I moved to another dorm, and while packing realized how much stuff we had between us.

View from new room.

I started working reunions. I GOT A JOB! I got my highest GPA so far at college.

Shay and I started hanging out a lot, as she stayed in the area during the summer.
That was pretty much May.

June 

Shay, Kirsten and I went on a girls vacation to the Cape. Did I mention, we got burnt, correction I GOT BURNT, 2nd degree!

The boyfriend and I broke up. That was a quick relationship.

After getting fed up with sitting around and doing nothing back at school while feeling like a failure as
Kirsten headed off to work every day (waiting for my summer job to start) I escaped to the Cape for a week.

I went to Lifeguard training which was HORRIBLE. I started to fear that the summer camp I was going to be working at would be just as bad.

Part one... DONE. Stay tuned for more....
