These are the years I tell you. The best years of my life. Sure I’ve been saying that since high school, but it’s also been true! Going through all my pictures and posts I did this past year in preparation to do this recap made me uber sentimental. I really do try to embody the theme of my blog, to “Go On A Living Spree” everyday. I probably take it for granted and I should probably appreciate it more, but I really do live the Good Life. I am so blessed for all of the wonderful, loving family, friends, mentors, and co-workers and I am proud that I make time for them (and so much fun!) in my life. I strive to balance work and life and I will continue to attempt to do so in 2013.
If I have any doubters out there that I went on a Living Spree in 2012, let them look through this recap…
And that doesn’t even scratch the surface of my life in 2012!
Thank you all so much for being my “virtual friends”. For following along in my craziness, for commenting, lending advice and support. It means more to me than I can say. I hope everyone has an incredibly HAPPY, HEALTHY NEW YEAR!!!
Come With Me…
On A Living Spree…
In 2013












































You had an incredible year! I love the picture recap
You’re life is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing it with us! Your open heart to share your life and spread the joy is truly great. Funny, I came upon your blog when I just did a general Google search for “let’s go on a living spree, the say the best things in life are free” from “The Good Life”. I really needed some inspiration because it was a bizarre time in my young life, and I couldn’t stand it any longer. I was ruminating a lot and needed to reassess my life & goals and find that perfect “work-play balance” that you make look so effortless. Again, thanks for sharing the joy of life, and congrats on a great year! Best of luck in 2013, I’ll be following along!! -Yvette
Yvette,
That is such a high compliment and I am so glad that you have been able to find at least some inspiration from the blog. I’m can relate to going through really tough times so please message me any time if you need to chat/a friend/some support/some advice (not sure I give the best advice, haha, but I’ll try!). And thank YOU so much for your comments and support, they help me get through this craziness called life
Take care and have a happy new year!!!

P. S. Looove the pic of you sitting on the pool table. I actually laughed out loud. Hahah

I adore all these pictures. not only do I love your sense of style but you can tell you are having a blast in every single one of them
Thanks so much Alex! I feel bad that lately I haven’t had time to comment on YOUR blog, but I can honestly say that yours is one of a few that I read consistently every single day (on my phone)…is that creepy!!!!

I love the picture recap! Looks like you had a wonderful 2012— bring on 2013!
