I said I would blog more now that I made a new blog, and obviously ... that has not happened. But I felt very compelled to write one more entry before 2012 ends because 2012 was so amazing to me. In the past twelve months:
January: I started a full time job at Abercrombie and Fitch as a Manager In Training. Although many may feel this isn't the ideal job right out of college it was A. A job and B. It worked perfectly for me. Although I didn't stay long, I am very
grateful to A&F for giving me the opportunity to work as a manager full time.
March: I was hired at my current company and made the move to New York! Thank you God! I love my current company and everyone who I work with. I love all of the amazing opportunities I get through my company and all of
friendships I have made.
April: Brad turned 24 <3 Yes, this deserves a place in my blog. I've been with him since he was 20! Crazy.
May: I GRADUATED. FINALLY. FINALLY. FINALLY.

June: My foot was run over by a cab. Not a good thing, but it happened.
July: Carolyn, Bri, and I signed up for the Disney Princess Half Marathon! WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT WE WOULD RUN A HALF MARATHON ?! I went to Miami not once but twice! My best friend Lindsay came to Connecticut, and I had my graduation party! This is also the month that I got into running. It is safe to say that running is one of the best things that ever happened to me. It keeps my body and mind healthy. And it has made my sisters and I so
close. This running bond we share will never be broken. I am sure of it.
September: Ran my first 5k! The New Haven Road Race. If anyone likes to run or wants to get into running I definitely recommend this race. The energy is incredible, it's close to home, a great price, and the best part is you get a medal!

Although I do not update regularly I hope that this recap gave you a good idea of the past twelve months. Some months I purposely did not touch on because the events in those months to me, were not as big as these events.
I can happily say that today, thank you to the past year, I have a better idea of who I am and what makes me happy.
My goals in
2013:
1. To strongly finish the Princess Half Marathon in February.
2. Run the Fairfield Half Marathon.
3. Go to the Big E.
4. Run the Hartford Full Marathon if my schedule allows me to.
5. DEFINITELY PREPARE FOR THE ROME FULL MARATHON!
6. Work on getting the body that will make me happy. My strongest body to date!
Of course I have other goals but those goals are more personal :) I hope everyone had an amazing holiday and you all have an amazing New Year! I will be running a 5k on January 1st! Great way to start off the New Year! How will you be starting it off?
xoxo.
