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

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.

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!
