January

I wrote a letter to my Boo.

I shared what I was learning about food & faith.

But more importantly, what I was learning about love.

February

Had the world's coolest Valentine's Day date.

Finally told our engagement story.

Had a talk about S-E-X.

March

I showed off my beautiful bridesmaids.

I underwent a blog name change and became {Bee}autiful Blessings.

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.

I thanked God for sex.

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

We tied the knot!

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!
