There’s officially only two days left in 2012 after today, and I don’t know if you feel the same way, but for me, 2012 flew by in a whirlwind. I know other bloggers are doing their yearly recaps, and I figured now would be a good time for me to do the same. I was going to go month by month, but then I realized that there were some months that went by rather uneventfully, so let’s just focus on the highlights!

February
D and I took a trip down to New York City! It was the first time he and I had ever gone down together, though we both had spent a good deal of time there separately at various times before we met. The main reason for going down was to see Bjork in concert:

And we also saw Spiderman: Turn off the Dark

March
In March, we got our geek on and went to see Final Fantasy: Distant Worlds at the Boston Symphony Orchestra. It was actually a great show, even though historically I haven’t been much of a FF fan, but the orchestra played the music from all the games and we had a great time.

June
In June, we took our first big vacation of the year and went to Vegas! I had been wanting to go to Vegas for quite some time, but never had the opportunity. This was an amazing trip and it felt like we were in a different world. Neither of us had ever been in a desert environment before! We did some gambling, saw some shows and ate at a lot of delicious restaurants.

August
My 29th birthday! Let the last year of my twenties begin.

(Yes, we have a triple birthday every year for me, my mother and my brother)

September
We had been waiting all year for this one – our trip to Disney World!

November
No pictures for this one, but this was the biggest accomplishment of the year. I finally finished paying off my massive student loan debt!!

And those were the highlights of the year! Looking back, it was a pretty good one, and I’m so happy we got to do all the traveling that we did. Next year will be a lot lighter in the travel department because we’ll be saving up our money to hopefully buy our first house.

What’s the biggest thing you’ll remember from 2012?
