2012 recap...aka longest post I've ever done

2012 has been quite the year for me. It's been really amazing (being with Rayce) and really challenging and sad at the same time (being away from my mom, wahhh! )

 

January

Flew back to Iowa for Christmas and started the best relationship I've ever had with my best friend and quickly fell in love

 

 

Had lots of fun with old friends

 

 

February

Flew back to Iowa again for a small vaca and spend Valentine's Day with Rayce in his tiny dorm room where I apparently didn't take a single picture

 

March

Rayce flew to Raleigh during his Spring break. It was his first time flying in his whole 24 years. I was dog sick the day after he arrived and he took such good care of me.
