this year hast had it's highs and lows, like every year. but there is so much that happened this year that i never thought could actually happen. and there is just so much that i'm thankful for, and so many memories that i'm sure will stay with me forever. 2012 was a good year. i have good anticipation for what the next year will bring :)
