2012 In Review

Time to reflect on 2012...

January: Spent my first NYE in New York at the Trump Hotel!

February: Visited Raleigh, NC and added to my list of food spots featured on Man V. Food by eating at The Pit. The BBQ was awesome!

March: I smoked hookah for the first time! 

April: I visited California for the first time EVER! I went to LA and I met the Pacific Ocean. I can't wait to go back. I also began my first teaching class teaching basic computer skills to adults.

May: I made two new friends: my roommate and my neighbor. They are truly heaven sent. The rest is history.  

June: I got braids for the first time and I celebrated a summer full of memories with new friends in DC. 

July: Mini reunion of my Dad's family in Delaware.

August: I celebrated my best friend's birthday in Brooklyn. It was like a big reunion of friends!

September: Went to Ocean City, MD for the first time. I blew my tire, and we were stranded on the highway until my cousin came and saved us. I still don't know how to change a tire. lol

October: I celebrated my 25th birthday! I hosted a dinner party at my place and it was fabulous! I also got to travel to Dallas, Santa Fe, the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and Vegas! It was my first "partial" cross-country trip. 

November: Spent time with my cousin home from the military. This was probably the most time we've spent together since we were kids so I was glad we got to catch up on each other's lives.

December: I did my "big chop." My hair is finally all natural!

It's been a rocky, yet exciting year. I made awesome friends and I learned a lot about myself this year, good and bad. I had a lot of "firsts" this year. I'm looking forward to the new year and accomplishing all of the goals I have set for myself and experiencing many more "firsts." I seek growth in all aspects of my life. I wish all of you many blessings in the new year! 

Happy New Year! Xo
