That sounds like a fabulous year!
Well, I found book blogging and as a result read 217 books in 2012 and wrote mini reviews (very mini) for each, for my own use. I will be 69 years old in a few days, so there aren't that many new things available to me anymore and books seem to have taken their place,although I have always been a reader. Wednesday I start back to work fulltime so the pace will not be as fast, but I plan to keep reading a lot and reviewing each read. I only work for 7 months, so after that watch out. Anyway, Happy New Year to you and yours, Melissa, and I love your enthusiasum and your blog.
So many great things Melissa!!! White water rafting is on my bucket list and how fun to see so many musicals and plays! One of my highlights for 2012 was seeing Dracula ballet. I can't say it was one of Scott's highlights. ;) Not sure what 2013 will bring!
What a great year and a lot of things to "check off your bucket list " (if you had one). here's hoping your list is twice as long in 2013!
What a fun list. I went white water rafting in Maine about 14 years ago and loved it -- what a rush.
Here's to a Happy 2013!
annieb - Your reading year was incredible! I'm sure it will be hard to keep it up once you start working again, but I'm sure you'll make time to read.
Trish - I review local theater in Indianapolis, so I get the chance to see tons of great shows!
Jenners - I definitely have a bucket list. I love being able to try at least a few new things each year!
Diane - It really was so much fun!
What a sweet list! So excited for your first pie.
This was the year that I got married, visited Thailand, and road-tripped California. I also started a blog and read my first Stephen King. Oh and The Great Gatsby for the first time.
Happy 2013 to you!
Nikki - Oh my gosh what an incredible year you've had! That will be a hard one to top, but I bet you made some awesome memories.
Cool. I need to sit and make a list like this. Thanks
