2012

As a sequel to my previous blog (or is it prequel?), this blog is dedicated to 2012's accomplishments.  See 2011's list here.

• Quit working fast food
• One of my unspoken resolutions last year was to quit working at the fast food restaurant that I'd been working at for nearly a decade.  ACCOMPLISHED!  
• Get new job
• Of course, I couldn't quit working fast food without acquiring another job, which I did.  I currently work for a communications company, and I love the job thus far.  It is really nice to be able to come home from work and not smell like greasy french fries.

• Graduate with my bachelor's degree
• It only took 7 years after graduating high school, but I finally did it!  Granted, I didn't go to college until after I'd been out of high school for 3 years, but it's an accomplishment of which I'm proud.

• Concerts
• This year my awesome fiancee took me to see my most favorite band ever(!!), the Red Hot Chili Peppers.  It was amazing.
• I also saw Ani Difranco, again.  And because of Ani, I discovered a new band called Pearl and the Beard.  PATB opened for Ani, and they are wonderful!  Can't wait to see both of them again.
• I also saw the Avett Brothers again, but this time my awesome fiancee scored us tickets right at the stage!  It was a good experience.

• Got engaged!
• Speaking of fiancee.... =) this wasn't really a goal or accomplishment of mine, but I'm pretty stoked about my wedding in May =)

• Bought a new car 
• This also isn't really considered an accomplishment, but I bought a new car- dubbed Sonja the Sonata- in order to help my parents out with some financial difficulties.

• Ran a 5k!
• I'm not a big runner, but I ran my first official 5k in August.  I didn't do as well as I liked, but I'm still proud of myself for sticking to it.
• The hellion started kindergarten.
• I know this isn't really my accomplishment, but I think it's an accomplishment for my growth as a mother. =)

• Went on a family vacation to Destin, FL.
• Had some new and old friends come back into my life.  (This is a common occurrence throughout every year, and it always makes me sad when people go out of my life.)

A small list, but a list nonetheless.  I rock! =)
