2012: A Year in Review

There are only a few hours left before we ring in the new year so I wanted to take a look back at some of the fun & exciting things I did in 2012.  The top highlights included buying our first house together, celebrating our 1st anniversary in Savannah, and breaking 3:30 at the Akron Marathon.

 

It truly was a great year (I think I say this every year though!) and I'm looking forward to an even better 2013!
