i don't have resolutions, but i do have pictures.

i keep seeing all of these new years resolution posts about how everyone's getting in shape, becoming better people, saving the world, watching less tv, drinking less soda, blah blah blah.

we all have things we want to do better.

things we want to change.

and things we hope for our New Year.

the question is whether or not THIS YEAR we're actually going to act on those things. 

and keep them going for once.

maybe you will, maybe you won't.

my wish for myself and for everyone is just to be happy. that's it.

doing whatever it is you're doing, however it is you're doing it.

just be happy being you.

and if by the end of 2013 you're a better person, you lost a little weight, you stopped drinking that soda pop, 

and maybe you saved the world.

kudos to you, my friend. kudos to you!

so no, i'm not going to sit here and list out my "resolutions" for 2013.

instead i'm going to share with you the best of my 2012.

and hope for an even better 2013.

let's get started...

i moved in with one fabulous roommate.

i spent more time with my incredible, adorable nieces.

i had my heart broken... more than once.

sorry, no pictures for this one.

i went to 9, yes 9, weddings.
where i discovered my insane love for photo booths.

i said a heart-wrenching goodbye to my ava and found her a better home than i could have ever imagined. 

and then i got to visit her and see just how happy she is now.

i had lots and lots of fun, girls nights.

i shot guns for the first time... twice.

i was on tv.
say yes to the dress: bridesmaids to be more specific.
that was an experience to say the least.

my family and i took a trip to charleston, sc... 

one of my favorite places to visit.

i supported sun drop for halloween.

i got to spend another holiday season with my entire family.

and i spent an entire weekend away from everything at a walk to emmaus.
that might have been the highlight of it all to be quite honest here.

there are a lot more, but i don't have enough time for that.

ain't nobody got time for dat.

all in all i would say that 2012 was a great year.

and i'm excited to see what 2013 has in store!!

and that's my sappy new years post.
holla.
