2012... oh what a year!

Holy cow!! I cannot believe that this year is pretty much over. I am so grateful for all of the lessons I have learned from this year. As I was looking over what has happened, I can't say I have a favorite. I made so many memories this year and I feel so happy! This year has shown me many great and wonderful things. As time goes by and as I get older, I know that times seems to quicken and there is never enough of it. However, I have found to love life and live it to it's fullest. I am human so of course I make mistakes, but I will not let those bring me down. If anything, this year I have never been happier about how things have turned out. I am a firm believer that Heavenly Father has had a huge part in how my life is now. Without the gospel in my life or having such a close relationship with my Savior, I would be a lost soul. Many prayers have been answered and I have such a strong testimony in the gospel, it has changed me... for the better. For my last post of the year, I reflected on the happenings in my life, wow! I was amazed of what has happened. So I am going to give you some of the highlights for each month... I hope I don't bore you guys!

JANUARY
-I received a letter I wrote to myself when I was 14... it contained some valuable words... "Be humble IN ALL THINGS and GRATEFUL FOR ALL THINGS." Wow I hope I can always remember these words.

FEBRUARY
-Concert with Cierra Larsen!! We went to Every Avenue featuring We Are The In Crowd at the Venue... we ALWAYS have the best time together, love you girly!

2012 you sure were good to me! I do not regret anything that happened this year! I know this is just a short list of things, I wish I could list everything! But please feel free to go back through my blogs from this year and take a look of what I have posted! I hope you had a great year, it will only get better from here. I am so grateful for the people I have met and become close with, you know you who are! Things have happened to me for a reason, and slowly as the days go by I understand why they happen the way they do. The Lord plays a huge part in life and if you go with what is given unto you, you will be able to handle the situation a whole lot better. Friends I love you, and I wish you the best in the next year! You all deserve it! Happy 2013! Last but but least... GO FORTH AND DO!!!!
