I wrote about one of the many reasons I led a vegetarian lifestyle.

April

I celebrated Easter when my wonderful baby sister paid us a visit!
We had some pre-marital counsel.

May 

We shared in some belated birthday festivities.
I asked my Mommy to walk me down the aisle.
I shared my fears.

June

Had a great time on the Eastern Alumni Tour's Pittsburgh stop!
Had a wonderful, whirlwind weekend in Chuck's hometown.
I tried NOT to talk about my wedding.

July

I started my first big girl job at the Farm Service Agency!
Had a beautiful Mad Hatter-themed Bridal Shower tea party thrown in my honor.
I studied the evolution of a profile picture.
I reflected on how I felt about having a Daddy-less wedding.

August

My BFF, Matt, helped me to throw an anti-Bachelor party.
I had some wedding guilt.
We MOVED! (...two weeks before the wedding.)
My girls threw me a wild and crazy, pin-up girl-themed Bachelorette Party.

September

My hubby wrote the most heartfelt guest post.
We had one whole week of honeymooning fun and adventure in Jamaica!

October

Snoopy and Woodstock made an appearance in Ohio for Halloween.
I checked some items off my Bucket List.
I re-lived my 2009 African safari.
I started re-eating meat.

November


We celebrated pre-Thanksgiving with my family, and Thanksgiving with Chuck's!
I dropped out of grad school.
Our wedding was featured on Offbeat Bride.

December

I finally shared my experience in Rwanda.
We had some hilarious Christmas card outtakes.
We celebrated our two year "date-i-versay."

I seriously cannot even fathom how I managed to fit in so much into just one year.
New job, new home, new husband!

The best part is, the year's not over yet! So excuse me while I take my leave- I've got a wonderful hubby and a visiting little sister to ring in the new year with. 

Be sure to link up with your year-in-review's so I can read them all when I get back.

Can't wait to see you all in 2013!

  4. fun post! this is the first time i've ever been to your blog (just linked up for the review). i kept gasping in surprise as i read your recap because i'm also a newlywed, we moved 2 weeks before our wedding too, and i dropped out of grad school (totally made the same Grease beauty school dropout reference on my blog too...but aren't student loans the worst?!). anyway, i am now following you via google reader. can't wait to see your new posts and follow your journey into 2013. happy new year!!
