Adios 2012...

you have been adventurous. 

2012 started with me attending college for a semester longer than I anticipated, but little did I know what God had in store for me.

For the first time, I enjoyed school, church, and work.

I was enjoying the friendships that I made along the way, and preparing for huge changes that the summer had in store for me.
It's like going to camp...you really start yo enjoy it right before you leave. 

This year I had the opportunity to serve in my first mission trip outside of the states. 

Guatemala changed my life. 

I have made friendships that contain intimacy and understanding that no other friendships can relate to. 

I gained a love for a country and an itch to get back. 

GUATY PARTY FOR LIFE.

I also ran a 5k with all my sisters, and not just any 5k...the COLOR RUN! 

we had so much fun. 

You really start to like your sisters more when you get older and move away.

Seriously, it's mot a myth. 

We are not much for emotions, but I really love my sisters and miss them a lot. 

We are the coolest, prettiest, funniest girls I know. 

2012 was the year of great change for me. Within a span of 3 months I moved to Texas, Married my best friend and graduated college. 

say it with me... WHOA!

I celebrated marriage with my best friends next to me. Visited the beautiful Jamaica and graduated from Kennesaw State University in style while working at summer camp in Glen Rose, Texas. 

I also fed a giraffe. It was a dream come true. They are my favorite animal.

I am obsessed.

My husband and I drove the Texas-Georgia trip 3 times this year. 

We enjoyed lots of quality time together. 

We love road trips. They are kind of our thing. 

We got our first plant. 

I started this sweet blog.

It has been fun. I love forward to getting better at it.

This year I learned how to love stronger, forgive more, and make the most of many things. 

There were good time and bad.

happy and sad.

hellos and goodbyes.

Tear of joy and tears of sadness.

Learning and teaching.

Missing friends and sweet reunions. 

In and out of comfort zones.

and the changing of my last name. 

2012 has been a whirlwind of change. 

Some days I like it and some days I don't.

It's life. 

To 2013,

I hope to regain my passion for fitness which I somehow lost in my move to Texas.

I will learn how to use my sewing machine and be super cool at making things for my friends, family...and myself. I hope to grow in my relationship with my husband and my savior. I will achieve great things in my career. Learn what I want to do with my life, and do it. I will make new friends and stay close to my old ones. They will always be the best friends EVER. I will make the best of what I got, then I will make it even better. 2013, treat me kindly. I think I deserve it. 

Happy New Year,

Mrs. Peach
