looking back on 2012...

2012 was one of the best years of my life.
here's a month to month breakdown of the best moments
the year two zero twelve brought to me.

january:

was when I spent New Year's Eve with my sister's and Phil at Temple Square 

 and seriously courted this handsome devil.

february:

was when someone gave me a shiny ring that fit on my finger

 and had my first real valentine.

march:

was when we planned a mardi gras party for the French club

and registered for some fancy kitchen gadgets at BB&B

 and when I danced in the fiji section of the BYU Lu'au.

april:

was when we made ice cream using the extra liquid nitrogen with phil and his physics lab comrades
(note: we did not consume liquid nitrogen)

and had spectacular engagement photos taken by the talented laura sumrak

may:

was when the same laura took our groomal/bridal photos and gave them back to us {edited} the very next day. we were thrilled with her work!

june:

was when my dearest Mindy threw me a spectacular bridal shower

 (the mastermind of the fête herself)

 and when we decided that my wedding dress would be better if made out of flushable fabric

and was when I married my best friend, Philip, and had the best day
EVER

 and decided to eat a little cake to celebrate the occasion. 

july:
was when we went on a honeymoooooon up the California coast to San Francisco 

and spent a week in the mountains

 and nested and visited IKEA often

and when Olympic dreams came true

november:

 and had our first christmas together

 and enjoyed the season of brightness.

oh, 2012, you were so good.
