Farewell, 2012! (Week 16)

A LOT of things can happen in a year. Many of these are unimportant, and just slip from our minds in as long as a month. But some things are worth remembering for a long time. The beginning of the year seems so far away, and hard to visualize.
Memorable things aren't always good, or always bad. But I prefer to focus on happy memories. Sometimes it's the simplest things that stick with you. For my birthday this year, all I asked for was a box of my favorite cereal, that isn't sold in stores anymore. When I got it, it was the best present I can ever remember getting, which is sad... But I thought it was worth it. My brothers, Jimmy, and I hung out just about everyday this year. We never really did more than sitting around the house, but we always seem to have stories. One amazing thing that happened this year, was I got to go see Journey, live in concert. It was so cool, because we bought the tickets last minute, and still had pretty good seats. Pat Benatar and lover boy opened up for Journey that night. That was my first concert ever, and I'll never forget it. Also, I went on vacation with my boyfriend this year, and it was the farthest from Illinois I have ever been and my first time ever seeing the ocean. We stayed in Washington D.C. with a friend of Evan's, and went to Virginia Beach our last day of visiting. That was an awesome experience that I can treasure forever.
