Happy 2013!





Okay... so first thing, I haven't blogged in about a million years. Been busy, been lazy, and life just gets in the way. But I was journalling (that sounds super corny but I do it b/c I have a terrible memory and when I am old and decrepit I want to be able to read things that I did in my life b/c I know I won't remember them!) and was just about to start to write what happened in the year 2012 when I realized I blogged about it last year (posted here)... better keep the tradition alive :) 

Unlike last year, I have set some 'goals' for myself. They are simple (well they SHOULD be) and most definitely attainable.
   1. Run at least 1 mile 6x week
   2. Re-read my Neuro notes after class
   3. Read my bible everyday 
There you have it... short and to the point. And if I really care about my God, myself, and my schooling they really should be SUPER easy. 

2012. Wow. It seriously flew by. I feel like a million things happened. But it was good. Big life changing events took place... that always makes things interesting :) So here is my list of what I remember (and with a lot of help from Facebook) happened in 2012. 

What this last year looked like in the Johnson household (good & bad):
· Went striper fishing for the first time on New Years day
· Tried Pho for the first time… MUCH to my dismay
· We went to our first UNC Basketball game (and they won!)
· My Mama (and Xena!) came to visit
· I got ACCEPTED into PT school… BOOM! And my mom was with my when I got the phone call J
· We ran the Shamrock ½ Marathon… my 2nd, Josh’s 1st
· Josh threw me an incredible surprise party for my 25th birthday (I was so surprised I cussed!)
· Gave Josh 30 surprises for 30 days leading up to his 30th birthday
· Saw Avett Brothers in concert (this was one of Josh’s surprises)
· Got my very own Macbook Pro (happy dance!)
· Was introduced into the realm of Kettlebell workouts… ouch!
· Passed the CSCS
· Stopped working full time at InMotion to start PT school… toughest summer of my LIFE!
· Became overly comfortable working with cadavers (EWW)
· Starting singing in our churches worship band
· Celebrated our 3rd anniversary in Nags Head… I know what your thinking, that sounds dreamy. Oh yes… it was indeed J
· Watched my best friend marry the man of her dreams (while in SoDak… two birds, one stone)
· Met my father for the first time since I was 10 years old
· Josh’s family welcomed Layne Taylor into the world!
· Received my white coat
· Moved out of Midhurst Ct and moved to Woodstock Ct (in a way cooler house that is on water with a backyard the size of Rhode Island)
· Josh got major ankle surgery… no fun and rehab will go well into 2013
· Became Josh’s chauffer (surgery on the right foot means no driving, for a very very long time)
· Watched all 8 Harry Potter movies for the 1st time (Josh was so proud) and actually enjoyed them
· Threw our 2nd annual Prethanksgiving Thanksgiving… and my long lost cousin Jonny was in town for it
· Tapped into my inner Marther Stewart (I knew she was there all along)

Even though 2012 was packed full of all sorts of goodness, I just have a feeling 2013 is going to be better. Yes, school will most definitely take up a majority of my time but this is the year of doing, the year of getting things done. And my list is pretty big. That new house that we moved into… huge project. But it will indeed become our home J Here is to another year. Making new memories (that I will inevitably forget and have to write down) and just making it count.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
