bluealoeI will always remember 2012.
It was the year I decided to leave a job that wasn't working out, and after many months of unemployment, started working at a completely different kind of job.
It was the year I traveled to Abashiri, Wakkanai, Asahikawa, Minnesota, Syracuse, Seattle, and Boston.
It was the year R, my mom, and Julie visited me in Japan.
It was the year I moved back to the US, and moved in with my love, starting a new life.
It was the first year in 27 years I was not in Alaska at least once.
It was the year I drove 1100 miles in two days.
It was the year I was reunited with my cats, and got to live with both of them for the first time in almost four years.
It was the year I re-learned how to knit, tried cross-stitching again, and sewed an oven mitt.
It was the year I received a Kindle and a baby elephant.
It was the second Christmas in a row without my mom, but the first with my expanded family.
It was the year my amazing, beloved Subaru skidded off the road and the damage didn't look too bad, but the insurance company declared it totalled. I'm still in mourning.
It was the year I was reunited with many old friends.
It was the year that with a lot of assistance, we pulled off a wedding.
It was the year I got married.
I get to wake up every morning next to the love of my life, and for that reason, I will always remember 2012.
