2012 Reflections...2013 Dreams

Eleven days into the new year, I decided it high time to reflect on 2012 and the year it was.  It was a good year. Here's some of the major events from 2012:

• A full year plus as a pediatric nurse
• Went to Africa for the 3rd time
• Vacationed at Disneyland with 3 friends and fulfilled bucket list item of staying at Disneyland Hotel
• Witnessed many friends get married, have babies and move away to distant places (Missouri, Africa, Southern Asia)
• Got two new tattoos
• Went to San Fransisco for the first time
• Saw a Red Sox game with the one who taught me to be a Red Sox fan, my dad
• Camp Nurse for Centrifuge
• Trips to the Oregon Coast
• Continued hanging with the coolest youth in Oregon
• Rafted White Salmon, went over Husum Falls and lived to tell about it (I might never forgive you for that one Logue)
• Had Thanksgiving at my house and cooked my first turkey (Linda helped)
• Most importantly, fell in love with Jesus even more.

 It was a full and awesome year.  And I think 2013 might give it a run for it's money.

What I dream for 2013:

• Run a 5k  
• Read the Bible cover to cover.
• Reconcile my relationship with my mom. 
• Have fun celebrating one of besties 40th in Vegas!
• Be more intentional with people in my life that I've neglected.  I have some amazing cousins who I should hang out with more.
• Go to Haiti in May for a medical mission trip.
• Become more: 
• Honest
• Merciful
• Gracious
• Vulnerable
• Patient 
• Travel to Ireland and Scotland for a friend's 40th birthday.

That's about it.  I think that's plenty...  I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
