While I was trying to beautify my blog (BTW, let me know what you think of the new look) and I was going through old posts I decided that maybe it was time (AT LAST) to look back on 2012 and see what 2013 will bring.
My 2012 in a nutshell.
If you're friends with me on pinterest you are probably aware that I have a board called "My Life Complete." Everything that had been on my bucket list that had come true I moved over to that board. Here are a few I was able to move...
-
Technically I finished up all of my ASL classes back in 2011-2012, but this year I also completed my first semester of interpreting classes.....and passed! When you're in the interpreting program here at Bethel everyday is a challenge (think America's Next Top Model, except the goal is to get more than one winner :P ). Bethel is like the Harvard of interpreting. 
This was the excursion I chose to do during our family cruise this summer. I think it's something everybody should try in their lifetime. Very interesting creatures.
Yes, Yes, I know that I've been living in a dorm room since 2009/2010. But I'm still here.
Yes, that's what I did for my 21st birthday. It was awesome and I still have no regrets. :) 
AGAIN! Whoot! Avery Olivia...proud aunt and godmother right here!
Yeah, part of the excursion was getting to ride them too...ski style.
First one ever and got to go with the whole family! Grandma's are the best....especially mine. :) - I'm sure there are countless others that I could name too. Like I sort of mentioned before...with Avery I'm her godmother, so that was a first. However, Avery, I'm not crafty enough to make you a car out of a pumpkin. :) But I could maybe make you a dress. :)
- I FINALLY got to bring the mini van to school with me...which was nice and
not so much.Yes, I know, cars take a lot of money. This also included driving myself home...really not that bad. - I interpreted in chapel for the first time....scariest thing ever....our first goal is always not to pass out, puke, or run off the stage...I made it....but it was hard.
- I also drank legally for the first time. A drink every now and then is nice. :)
Hmmm...I can't really think of anything more...got any?
Now for 2013 here are my expectations: So many to choose from!!!
My friends I'm sure you know who I'm talking about here....and if you don't, too bad, I'm not telling you anyway. :P
I know this is all in God's time. If I can't have this this year at least give me some patience then. 
Pretty self-explanatory.
This one is too.
I don't think I've had hair this long since....ever.
Only in my dreams. :)
And do it in a healthy way.
If I can teach myself how to French braid, I can teach myself how to waterfall braid.
This goes with #5.
Don't judge me!
If anybody else wants to do this they should let me know. :)- And this year the biggest one will be passing my classes and making it through all of chapel and not just the worship part. :)
Well, That's pretty much it. I could go on...but...I gotta have some secrets. :P The challenge is to live in the now and concentrate on what I'm doing now and not later. So don't ask me what I want to do after graduation. :)
