Just like in 2011, time for a yearly wrap-up via blog posts! My year in review:
January // To start off the year, I decided to chronical my gratitude. An amazing choice, as it's always good to remember the good things in life. It also got a ridiculous number of pins on Pinterest, which is hilarious considering all I did was put stickers in a notebook. ;)
February // I fell in love with Neuroscientist Ryan Gosling. Who wouldn't love this studly, smart man?

March // I got dumped, was sad for a brief moment, then realized I'm so much better than that. Hollie sent me the sweetest gift in the world (the gorgeous necklace) and I will forever be grateful for her kindness!
April // I turned 26 and had the best birthday ever...by sharing it with strangers.
May // My bestie got married!
June // A sad note, as my best friend since junior high passed away. Words don't do you justice, sweet woman. To Chelsea, the sweetest, most badass chick I've ever known.
July // We started the 15 Day Challenge, and it blew up. Did you participate?!
August // I started online dating, and chronicling the experiences on the blog. Behold, the most asshole-ish email I received:
(Don't worry y'all, I later found via OKWeirdo that he emailed this to a bunch of girls.)
September // I finally met the bloggers I'm now closest to, Neely and Steph. It was love at first sight.
October // After an interesting round of online dating, I met the man of my dreams (as my uncle noted, via the internet, or the current equivalent of putting my phone number on a bathroom stall). I don't give a damn, because he's amazing.
On our first date.
November // I logged onto Facebook for the first time in 10 months...and then hated myself for doing it.
December // A ton of things happened, but one of the happiest moments was when my good church friends got engaged! I am in love with this photo.
That was my year, in a quick review! Of course, if you want to read more, there's an archived list on the sidebar just waiting for you to click!
Hope you all had great 2012s, and here's hoping that 2013 is infinitely better!

I loved your 15 day challenge, of course, and the OKCupid series was hilarious!!
That guy in the email, what a douche.
I loved getting to meet you during the 15 day challenge. Then we both the same month no less got dumped. Side note just now read that post. Omg. That's my ex story too. Then now we both have found wonderful men via online the same month as well. Haha.
Loved your review!! i remember reading through most of this! :) Glad i've found your blog.
This was a good recap post! And I've now opened up a bunch of your old posts in new tabs, and I've got some catching up to do, now that I'm finally following your blog :) I'm glad I am though! Happy New Year's Eve girl!
You had quite a year!!
It was fun going through your recap and remembering the things you've been through. Thank you for sharing your life through your blog. I find your attitude of gratitude inspiring, and just really enjoy you!! Here's to 2013!
What a great year--it's hard to believe that all that happened in the last 12 months!
Here's to a fantastic 2013! (And also, I'm about to spend way more time than necessary on OK Weirdo!)
I loved participating in your 15 day challenge. Yay for a new year and new beginnings!
Love the recap! And I can't remember why, but I didn't participate in your challenge this year...will you be doing another one in 2013? I hope so! Cheers!
"equivalent to putting your number on a bathroom stall." Ha! I love reading these year end posts. I now have a bunch of older posts to read!
When I read that October was your favorite month of 2012, my first thought was hey, that's both my birthday month AND my visit to you ran into October, so that must be why! HAH! But I do understand and I'm happy to share my favorite month with you. Hard to believe you packed so much into the year, and so glad that you blog it all (or most of it, anyway). I just might have to start blogging again, too. Love you!
What a great (and busy!) year!! Hope 2013 is even better! :)
That's one helluva year. I'd definitely be thankful for all that. Especially that very handsome fella ;)
I love love this post!!
Fun review! I tried to do something similar! Looks like a great year girl-hope everything is going well!
I love your gratitude journal and I'm glad you kept up with it! And I am once again reminded of how awesome you are by your birthday acts of kindness! I'm going to borrow that idea this year :) And YAY for new love, you deserve it!! Happy 2013 :)
Haha can we talk about how I use to post all the weird, offensive, awkward messages I got from guys on OKC on my tumblr? I even posted links to their profiles cause well they deserved it after some of the messages I got.
